Hey all,

From the Rides show.. Foose's 69 Camaro Rear suspension

looks strange.. click on thumbnail below

Well, I don't understand the shock/spring arrangement myself, but other than that, it looks very good! And far better than I expected from him... The dropped mount on the control arms is good, although they're not that long. The bottom-pumpkin mounted watts link looks happy. And the overall bracing looks like overkill, but hey, who's complaining?

He, he, he. I've seen that before. laugh.gif





Too bad the TA isn't pictured to see if it includes my suggested improvements....

I actually miss Dana....

it's set up like IRWS on any independant suspension car. you got the lower control arms, the"panhard bars", torque arm, and also the coil overs...just sideways instead of upright. with it set up this way, you can definitely get tighter feel. and i imagine it's lighter than the stock unit too, being less materials.

i just wish i could see the back of the spring perch. i wonder how they have it set up.

Actually, Chip Foose more or less penned out what the car should look like overall, and made some tweaks in looks.


On looking at what Foose drew in his pictures, and going from there and making it a real car, was done by Year One and Unique Performance.

At least thats how the show made it seem.


I knew if i posted on here you guys would be able to explain it.. thanks wink.gif

They plan on making a limited 500 run of these Camaro's.
