Widening Metric front end

[tutt71]

82 an up are strut cars,...will that work with coil springs???

if you want wider springs why not go with a chevelle or camaro clip???

The 82 up Camaro does have a strut, but it does not have the spring on the strut. The spring is in the conventional location. I have never thought of this, but You might want to investigate it some. Surely you know someone with that body style Camaro that you could compare too. I may check into this myself.

Did anyone find out if the 82 Camaro lower a frames would fit on a metric car without having to cut anything ?

widening the frame is by far the easiest way of accomplishing your goal . but it's not legal in u.m.p racing . although their are a few cars out there that finished high in the point standings (from my area) that have that alteration in them . it works ! and so far ...... u.m.p don't seem to mind . lol .
alot of cars have the nova lowers also . and i think that is ellegal as well . i prefer the camaro . it comes wider from the factory . and usually wider is better .

There are also a lot of cars that work fine without going to the extreme of widening them out. JMO

that's is correct . the only way to stay within the guidlines would be to use offset wheels and/or wheel spacers . it's gona be hard to undo the work you have done if you get caught with "altered mount locations" . better safe than sorry .
