Chevy Camaro Suspension - Subframe To Surface Missile

The tubular transmission crossmember attaches to the subframe at these mounting points.

The coilover mount and upper tubular control arm are designed for optimum suspension characteristics. The welds especially stand out-they're absolutely beautiful.

In order to stay with the entire Chassisworks design, Route 66 Motorsports ordered a pair of the subframe connectors that attach to the stubs at the rear of the subframe. Moving forward, the front clip also adds the triangular emergency brake mounting bracket at the stock location.

Another option is the stainless steel upper and lower A-arms kit. It comes complete with all hardware, and the ball joints come already installed, leaving only the installation of the rod ends to complete.

Drop spindles are available to lower the car approximately 2 inches and are specifically designed to work with the new front clip.

If you're looking to upgrade your brakes, the Wilwood 13-inch front rotors feature four-piston calipers and match well with the Chassisworks hubs.

To assemble the rotors, we started by attaching the hat to the rotor, then attaching the hub and studs to the rotor. After the Timken inner wheel bearing was packed with grease, we dropped in the bearing race. After we tapped the inner seal into place, the rotors were ready for installation.

Prior to mounting the rack, be sure to chase the threads in the rack mounting bosses. The lower half of the billet rack clamp can then be attached to the front of the crossmember. While you're at it, it's a good idea to apply Loctite to the Allen bolts.

Both upper and lower A-arms fit fairly snug over the mounts, so take extra care not to damage the threads in the mounts or on the pivot studs.
