First Generation Chevy Camaro Suspension Upgrade - Subframe To Surface Missle

After the frontend alignment was completed, the assembled rotors were slipped on the spindles. Bearings, retainers, and castle nuts were then installed, finished off with the always important cotter pin.

The steering was checked for uninterrupted full range of motion.

To assemble the four-piston caliper Wilwoods, we started by installing the pads and followed by attaching the supplied bracket onto the caliper and mounting the assembly onto the spindle.

Pulling out the factory subframe is only a matter of four bolts. While air tools aren't required, it certainly makes the job easier. Make sure you support the front of the body when dropping the subframe.

With the bolts out, we could drop the entire front subframe with a floor jack. That's all there is to it.

Once we had the front clip lined up, we supported the rear of the subframe with a pair of jackstands, and loosely installed the mounting bolts, checking for proper alignment. Everything looked good, so we went ahead and torqued it down to spec.

There you have it. The new front clip has the perfect combination of up-to-the-minute technology with the durability necessary for a high-performance street car. Adding to the user-friendly appeal, the front clip also accommodates the stock radiator support, bumper, grille, and inner-fender panels. Add in the rubber inner-fender shield and it'll protect the engine compartment during inclement weather.
