Heidts subframe
Anybody in NJFBOA land try out those new Heidts subframes for 1st and 2nd GEN Camaro's. I was going to modify an stock subframe for my 79 Z28 but their getting hard to find. Does anybody think their worth the 3500 bucks?

I was looking into a front clip and a 4 link, but making it more for the street than the track. What is your goal?
|
What are you trying to accomplish? 2nd gen subframes are better than 1st gen frames in regards to geometry and such.

Yes. There are 2 reasons to buy aftermarket 2nd gen frame, IMHO. 1) bling. I appreciate that, as fine a reason as there is, no knocks here. 2) racing. If the answer is 3) great street car, it's relatively easy to make a 2nd gen a great street car with a stock frame.
While I was at SEMA I talked to a lot of folks out there. Engineering types and drivers. These seem to be the favorites at this time. http://artmorrison.com/camaro.php Art Morrison uses vette parts, so replacement parts are out there. I've spoken with Matt at AME and would not hesitate to use their stuff. http://www.detroitspeed.com/productp...rame2ndgen.htm Considered by most to be the class of the lot. Mark Steilow uses their stuff for a reason. Mostly proprietary parts, but very well done by all accounts, and priced accordingly. http://www.heidts.com/ By all accounts their latest stuff is very good. I spoke with Mary and Dave Pozzi at SEMA about heidt's car, which Mary raced at a suspension challenge super chevy magazine did. She thought the Heidts stuff performed very well. I dare say surprisingly well. I can't think of any other 2nd gen SF I'd buy. If stock frame is the eventual choice, perhaps call Keith http://www.customworksproducts.com/ or Mark at http://www.scandc.com/suspensions.htm Hold a gun to my head today I'm going AME. I like OE parts a lot. All 3 options are better than my driving ability. |
Another option is to go to an airbag setup. :drool:

Mary Pozzi is an scca champ in her 72 with stock front frame as well.

where are you located , there are events almost every weekend starting in march. The only 2nd gen i have seen is a guy in the philly region that races in esp. It will be great to have another cp car when you get it done.

Buy the car for $300, keep the subframe and sell the rest. |
