    well, I picked up some cheap rims/tires for the Camaro so that I could fit disc brakes on it. they're 15" rims from a 3rd gen. not my first choice, but they're growing on me. definitely works for now. + =

    Yep, make sure your HU isn't into clipping when trying to set the gains on the amp. so I could just buy like 6" of RCA cable and expose some wire so that I can attatch the leads? Could I just use RCA cable from radioshack since it won't be permanent? I have a feeling the factory BLOSE is gonna have chitty results -John what i've seen done is to get 2 RCA ends, and solder some wire between them with a lead coming off of each wire

    If you want to check the signal coming from the HU then you need to make an RCA probe well if I'm using it to set the gains on the amplifier which do I need to measure, the output voltage from the HU or the output voltage from the amplifier? -John Output of the amp, but you might want to check where/if your head unit starts clipping on the preouts, because your amp will amplify that as well. Yep, make sure your HU isn't into clipping when trying to set the gains on the amp.

    I saw one of those today. They are good looking cars, for Fords.

    that would be pretty cool, but another thing is that I refuse to put wheels larger than 15"s on it. I can't say I understand why you would put more modern looking wheels on it in a profile that isn't modern. I will agree that anything larger than an 18" on your car would just look dumb, but once going to a modern cut wheel upsizing looks better IMO. Of course, I would like the stock steelies you have in an 18 too colored like the body of course they would have to be widened as well. The wheels I want aren't modern looking. Good, I thought you were referring to your new ones nah, those are just temps. I've seen that orange Camaro before, pretty sick car

    well, it appears a search on the Camaro forum gave me an answer general consensus is stock spindles/lowering springs over dropped spindles/stock springs Are you sure? Everyone I know recommends changing spindles and shocks because when you change springs, you change spring ratio and lose some comfort. People have had clearance problems with the dropped spindles, and the stock springs could stand to be a tad stiffer. I'm going to put new shocks in it eventually. The thing is that I can change them without having to completely take apart the front end again so they can wait a bit. Also, while most of the stuff is 40 years old, the shocks are only about 15 years old. Whoa big fella. Slow down a minute, I wouldn't take the Camaro forum answers nearly as much as ones from a few other places. This outta help a bit. Here is a link for you from a well known Camaro handling guru: http://www.pozziracing.com/first_gen_suspension.htm Either way you should really decide the end that you are trying to reach and make sure to take only the steps necessary to get there. Changing from the 6 to the 8 alone is going to require different springs, but either way yours are shot as they are 40 years old. Your bushing are crap, your arms are stressed and the stock shocks are useless. If you are going to replace it all you should really look at matching the whole works together and it will also need to match your drivetrain weight as well. Yep, I know of Pozzi. I'm on Camaros.net, and he posts a lot there. In fact, he's one of the guys that said springs over spindles. What am I trying to accomplish? For right now, I'm just making a fun, reliable driver. I know there are products that offer huge improvements over the stock pieces, but I can't justify the cost of them at the moment. Maybe years down the road I'll throw everything at it. What I plan to get done in the next month: entire front-end rebuild with poly bushings, '69 Z-28 front, power disc brake conversion, and Hotchkis lowering springs.

You really should do SLA's, aftermarket springs, and spindles. Depending on how long before you order, I can give you all sorts of pics of my buddies 69 firebird which is currently almost in primer. I plan to have the front end done by the time the fall semester starts, but any and all pics are welcome
