Any of you good chassis guys know if you can use the pinto stuff and get good results on a street stock .this is a lot lighter than stock,but can you get good settings.Thanx

My vote would be no. The pinto spindle isn't as tall and that could change upper arm angles in a bad way. The Camaro front-end is already pretty decent out of the box.

you would have to run +1 ball joints on the uppers and lowers to help with geometry
steering arm is short so you will loose Ackerman.
you would have to do a lot of moving of steering and a-arms to get it to work right Ackerman wise .

not worth the time, but it could work.

You would have to run the whole package.Spindles,longer ball joints,rotors,calipers

You would save a fair amount of weight which would be a good thing.

Also, I think the quicker steering would be a big benefit also.

All in all, it would be worth it from a performance standpoint.

Be sure to get the total heighth of spindle and ball joints to match original Camaro. It will work, just give it a chance.

You will pick up a decent amount of rear weight which is a big plus when running a stocker.

True, it will be easy to sell, as it is a common package on mods.....Good luck and let us know how it works!
