I hate to derail this, as RD has said he wants to keep this thread on the pro-streeter but............. What the hell.....

You should see the stuff in there. Lots of stuff I don't really even recognize??? (sep' the camaro) I would say that there are at least eight and a half cars and trucks. Thats downstairs. :hehe:
Scares the hell out of me to be honest.LOL

Jeff, where did you get the control arms? I cannot find anything for a 95. I hit DJM Suspension, which sent me to Auto Anything, which is a dead end. :doh:

Sometimes these computers are as worthless as the made in china name tags slapped on them. :bang

Calling DJM direct, they tell me I need upper's, lowers, + their 2'' drop springs, for a total of 4''? They also say a their trans cross member is needed. Which I think I recall you saying you have a clearance issue there.

Like I posted, I used their 3" lowers- stock uppers(different balljoint on my uppers had to swap it to the 1/2 ton one.) I am looking into 2" drop spindles to correct some of the upper control arms angle, or I can machine some blocks and use longer hardware to mount the arm.

The trans member is indeed too close to the ground for my likings, a simple tubular one solves that clearance issue.

Nope shelled out stocker for me with carbon fiber gauge and switch panels...... :rockwoot:

 

[BBRam]

Thanks Jeff.

From what I have gathered from DJM's tech line, and Summit Racing. The 4'' drop, uppers and lowers, along with the 2'' springs, will net a total of 4'' of drop and also keep the steering geometry in tact.

Thanks Jeff

Today I removed the steering box,pitman arms ect- power steering pump/vac pump ect ect. I will have weights of these heavy-arse stocker components:bang.....

Aluminum column, Chromoly splined shaft, aluminum joint, superlite weight steering wheel.....
