Superide Independent Rear Suspension
Heidt's Hot Rod Shop's latest offering, its Superide Independent Rear Suspension, can be used for '67-69 Camaros and '68-72 Novas. According to Heidt's, this system will enhance cornering and handling, thanks to reduced unsprung weight, improved geometry, and the fine tunability provided by coilover shocks. This complete suspension package is available in various tread widths and comes with a plain center housing featuring an iron, 9-inch third member. The Superide IRS also includes fully assembled halfshafts, outer uprights with C4 Corvette bearing assemblies, solid inboard rotors with Wilwood billet calipers, Heidt's adjustable coilovers with chrome springs, a urethane-bushed top crossmember, a pinion-support front crossmember, forward struts, and tubular lower arms.
