I used the bolts that came with the shocks, I did have to drill out the hole in the bracket to make it fit though.

i thought you said you ordered them they were like 10 bucks a piace? @@shiftkings1028

factory did utilize u-bolts but only 1 per side, with the Hotchkis there are 2 per side

Depending on the engine I would go with lighter springs for your Camaro since it’s a slightly lighter car up front. they ride really nice, gives it’s a more modern feel than the old floaty feeling suspension.

@@shiftkings1028 Cool.Not too stiff?Thats my biggest problem with coil overs

@@johnnyhotrod not for my liking, the good thing is that you can always go with lighter springs if you find them to be too stiff, qa1 has a pretty chart that you can follow to get the right spring

@@shiftkings1028 Cool,thanks for the advice!

The one I have is an 11 inch but I was thinking swapping to manual brakes once in throw my cam in

@@shiftkings1028 Why would you want to switch back to manual brakes? It might be more foot pressure with disc brakes than with the drums.

@@stevenpringle7813 I don’t think with the the cam I’d have enough vacuum for the booster, it’s also one less think I’d have to worry about in regards to potential failures, I plan to road race it in the future

@@shiftkings1028 I think you can get electric vacuum boosters but I haven't really looked at the details.

I took a chance on ones from eBay. Seems like they are straight from the same factory cpp comes from. same adjust parameters but it’s supposed to be slightly better geometry. They are standard disk spindles.

With these control arms I’ve been told to watch my wheel play over time because the ball joints sometimes aren’t the best, I’ll give an update If that’s the case

I appreciate the feed back, I tightened the nylon nut to where I saw about 3-4 threads on the other side. I’ll definitely revisit it to make sure its not over tightened. I still have a a few more things to do with the rear end. Keep an eye for more videos ! :)

The brackets are designed for first gen f body’s spindles, I’m not sure if they are shared with x body’s so I couldn’t say.

This is kind of lengthy to explain, but I'll give it a try. First step is to contact the tech line of whatever aftermarket product you plan to install, and be very specific about what you're trying to accomplish. Write down part numbers, and if the rep has the patience, have a deep conversation about how all components will affect one another. For example, if you want disk brakes, it needs to match to the bracket which needs to mate with the spindle which needs to mate with the control arms....and so on& so on. Changing one component affects several down the line. Don't forget to upgrade the master cyl and proportion valve. .....maybe the brake booster , too (?). See where I'm going with this ? . Second, do your research online, browse & mix-n-match different vehicles that share part numbers. In order to bypass the YT delete filters, I'll mention a name at the very end for a site to visit. The drop-down menus catalog database is absolutely superb. I did a '68 FireBird front drum-to-disk conversion, but opted to stay with OEM parts. (I prefer the classic 15" rim look). Anyway, my memory is hazy, did this years ago & my paperwork & receipts are buried deep someplace...... I purchased spindles (i think) for a '73 Nova(?) engineered for disk brakes. Then researched backwards & compared part numbers to make it fit for the F-Bird. Eventually, I found part numbers that overlapped & were shared amongst different GM products. I bought the stuff, & it bolted right on. Vúala! Don't forget new rubber brake hoses. GM luckily shared part numbers, or at least used similar products across their assembly products. You just have to do your research & match up compatibility. I think by the time I got to year 1974, part numbers were completely off the scale; nothing matched up any more. BTW, disk conversion KITS are available for my '68 Bird, I know that. But they're much more expensive as a kit, than ordering parts "A-La-Carté" from other sources. You either pay a hefty price for the convenience of bolting everything from one box, or spend less $$ doing your own research & buying separate components. I'm not questioning your car educational level by being so "informative"....just trying to help. Remember that brakes is a system, and all affected components need to be considered. I cringe when some smarty-pants boasts about installing a huge carburetor & expects instant power gains. Yeah? What about the exhaust, valves, & camshaft? They all work together. ....um....intake manifold...duh. Anyway, Good Luck ! Rockauto

@@Schrimpieman Couldn't agree with you more about making up a parts list via comparing different GM applicable models. I have a Chevelle and am building a Camaro from the ground up. Trying to be frugal. Using same spindles, calipers, rotors, and pads. Also, some steering components are exactly the same.

No chance 😅, there are plenty for sale on marketplace though

How can I purchase some

It was steel so it’s all good for that little bit removed. If we die we die like men 😂. All jokes aside. The guy who custom makes these kits been tracking his 2 birds for years on them so that gave me a lot more confidence. I’ll admit I was also worried about that at first.

Ok well steel makes all the difference, I'm relieved 😉
