    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.
      I think there should be lifeguards in the genepool.

        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!
