Workinprogress Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 Hi, I'm brand new on this board. I've had a 99 GTP, 2002 Camaro SS and now I bought a 74 260Z with the intention of swapping an LS1 into it. My questions start with the front suspension. Does anyone sell aftermarket suspensions? I've looked at the sponsors and they sell some of the components, but not the whole front or rear. Will the stock fronts be ok after a rebuild? Any help would be great. Also, what is the deal with rear differentials? I was thinking of swapping in a solid rear, but maybe not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnc Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 You need to spend a lot more time researching and learning about the early Z chassis and suspension. If you're a drag racer, the basic chassis and suspension works well until you break out of the 11s. Some things need to changed/upgraded but you don't need to swap out the front and rear suspensions on the car - at least form a performance standpoint. Take a couple months and read/learn before getting out the cutting torch. Welcome to the group and enjoy the ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
