so my question is what lowers to run? i here about metric chassis and people runnin nova lowers, and camero lowers. i would like a wider stance on the front since it is a swingarm car. i'm told that nova lowers are 1in wider and camero is 1 1/2 wider. also understand that nova moves front 1.5 in forward. does the camero also? and does the camero change spring pocket?
new to metric clips so all the help i can get would be much appericated. thanks

Nova lowers and Camaro lowers are the same thing. 67 69 Camaro and 70 74 Nova use the same arms. I might be off a year on nova though.

I think he's talking about the earlier Novas that were rear steer. They are wider and you have to run them on the wrong sides because they were designed for rear steer. This puts the ball joint an inch and a half forward.

Yep so am I. The 1st gen Camaro and the 2nd gen Nova used the same front clip.

My bad, I was thinking the rear steer novas were in the late 60's
