APPLICATIONS:
CHEVROLET:
1970-1981 CAMARO
PONTIAC:
1970-1981 FIREBIRD
COMPLETE SYSTEM INCLUDES:
TALL 2" DROP SPINDLES:
THE RIDETECH SPINDLE IS A HEAVY-DUTY FORGING THAT IS APPROXIMATELY 1.75" TALLER, BALLJOINT-TO-BALLJOINT, THAN THE OEM SPINDLE. THIS BASIC GEOMETRY CHANGE INCREASES THE CAMBER GAIN DURING SUSPENSION COMPRESSION, ALLOWING THE TIRE TO LEAN INTO THE TURN INSTEAD OF AWAY FROM THE TURN. THE RIDETECH SPINDLE ALSO HAS A PIN HEIGHT THAT IS 2" HIGHER THAN THE OEM SPINDLE. THIS MEANS THAT YOUR CAR WILL SIT 2" LOWER THAN IT WOULD WITH THE OEM SPINDLE.
THESE SPINDLES ARE DESIGNED FOR USE WITH 1967-1969 CAMARO/FIREBIRD BRAKE SYSTEMS. THEY WONT ACCEPT THE 1970-1981 CAMARO/FIREBIRD STOCK BRAKES. WE HAVE SEVERAL KITS AVAILABLE WITH THE MATCHING BRAKES HERE
FRONT TRUTURN STEERING SYSTEM:
DESIGNED TO PROVIDE MINIMIZED BUMPSTEER AND IMPROVE CAMBER GAIN
STEERING ARMS
DRAG LINK
IDLER ARM

TIE ROD ENDS AND ADJUSTERS
FRONT UPPER AND LOWER STRONGARMS:
WHAT SAYS "PERFORMANCE" MORE THAN A SET OF TUBULAR CONTROL ARMS! AFTER ALL OF THE TIME AND EFFORT EXPENDED ON YOUR RIDE, YOU DEFINITELY CANT LET YOUR STAMPED OEM CONTROL ARMS DETRACT FROM ALL THAT WORK. FINISH YOUR SUSPENSION OFF WITH THESE NEW TUBULAR CONTROL ARMS. BUILT WITH ALL OF THE CARE AND EXPERIENCE YOU HAVE COME TO EXPECT FROM US, THESE TUBULAR CONTROL ARMS ARE A PRECISION-ENGINEERED SOLUTION FOR BALL JOINT BINDING AND FRAME CLEARANCE ISSUES THAT CAN HAUNT SOME VEHICLES. WHEN YOU COMBINE THE PERFORMANCE BENEFITS WITH THE ELEGANT DESIGN OF THESE ARMS, THERE IS NO BETTER CHOICE ON THE MARKET.
DEVELOPMENT: STRONGARMS ARE DEVELOPED BY RIDETECH IN JASPER, INDIANA, ON AN ACTUAL RUNNING, DRIVING VEHICLE. THIS ALLOWS US TO PROPERLY ADDRESS ALL FITMENT AND PERFORMANCE ISSUES. IT ALSO ALLOWS US TO DOCUMENT AN INSTALLATION, DEMONSTRATE THE INSTALLATION TO OUR SALES TECHS, AND ALLOWS ONGOING EVALUATION OF THE PERFORMANCE OF THE STRONGARMS.
DESIGN: RIDETECH THINK THE BEST WAY TO DESIGN ANY COMPONENT IS TO KEEP IT SIMPLE. THAT IS WHY STRONG ARMS ARE DESIGNED WITH AS FEW COMPONENTS AS POSSIBLE. THE NEW 4-AXIS TUBING BENDER ALLOWS PRECISE, REPEATABLE BENDS THAT NO OTHER MACHINE CAN ACHIEVE. WE CAN CREATE ELEGANT TUBING BENDS THAT WOULD OTHERWISE REQUIRE SEVERAL SEPARATE WELDED COMPONENTS.
COMPONENTS: POWDERCOATED IN A SATIN BLACK FINISH AND COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED WITH BALL JOINTS AND BUSIHNGS. TO REDUCE ALL STICKION FROM THE SUSPENSION MOVEMENT, INJECTION MOLDED DELRIN BUSHINGS ARE USED. THESE BUSHINGS ARE ALSO IMPREGNATED WITH TEFLON, WHICH ELIMINATES THE NEED FOR LUBRICATION.
GEOMETRY: GEOMETRY OF A SUSPENSION STARTS WITH THE POSITION OF THE FRAME MOUNTS AND THE HEIGHT OF THE SPINDLE, NOT THE SHAPE OF THE CONTROL ARM. HOWEVER, THERE ARE A FEW SMALL THINGS IN CONTROL ARM DESIGN THAT CAN MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE IN HOW A VEHICLE DRIVES AND PERFORMS.
STRONGARMS ARE OPTIMIZED TO ALLOW PROPER CAMBER ADJUSTMENT AT YOUR NEW LOWERED RIDE HEIGHT WITHOUT USING A LARGE STACK OF SHIMS.
FRONT MUSCLEBAR SWAY BAR:
LETS FACE IT...THE MOST OVERLOOKED SUSPENSION COMPONENT IS ALSO ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT. THE MAGIC YOU COULD BE MISSING IN YOUR SUSPENSION MAY BE NOTHING MORE THAN SIMPLY ADDING OR UPGRADING YOUR SWAY BARS! THE NEW MUSCLEBAR SWAY BARS WERE DEVELOPED SPECIFICALLY FOR LOWERED VEHICLES AND WILL GREATLY ENHANCE THE CORNERING PERFORMANCE OF YOUR CAR OR TRUCK. NOT TO MENTION, THEYLL ALSO MAKE SOME VEHICLES SAFER AT THE SPEEDS WE TRAVEL ON TODAYS INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS. INCREASED BAR DIAMETERS, POLYURETHANE BUSHINGS, AND APPROPRIATE ATTACHMENT LINKS ALL ADD UP TO A SWAY BAR PACKAGE THAT IS DESIGNED TO WORK CORRECTLY WITH YOUR LOWERED CAR OR TRUCK AND YOUR AGGRESSIVE DRIVING STYLE.

REAR BOLT-ON 4-LINK KIT:
BOLT-ON 4-LINK INCLUDES UNI-CRADLE, ADJUSTABLE UPPER BARS WITH R-JOINT, NON-ADJUSTABLE LOWER BARS WITH R-JOINTS, ALL MOUNTING BRACKETS AND HARDWARE.
RIDETECH IS PROUD OF THIS ALL-NEW 4-LINK REAR SUSPENSION SYSTEM SPECIFICALLY FOR 1970-1981 CAMAROS AND FIREBIRDS. THE DESIGN DELIVERS EXCEPTIONAL PERFORMANCE WITH MINIMAL CUTTING AND ALMOST NO WELDING REQUIRED. EQUALLY IMPORTANT, THE UNIQUE DESIGN ADDRESSES PRODUCTION VARIATIONS AND FRAME RAIL THICKNESS ISSUES THAT ARE COMMON TO THE SECOND-GENERATION F-BODY PLATFORM. RIDETECH DEVELOPED AN INNOVATIVE "UNICRADLE" DESIGN THAT IS SIGNIFICANT IN TWO WAYS. LATERAL TUBES INDEX OFF OF THE LEAF SPRING MOUNTING POINTS RATHER THAN THE FRAME RAILS. A SEPARATE STEEL BRACE BOLTS TO THE INSIDE OF THE REAR BULKHEAD AREA (IN THE COCKPIT) BEHIND THE SEAT TO LOCATE THE FORWARD MOUNTING POINTS OF THE UPPER LINK BARS.
THE CLEAN-SHEET DESIGN OFFERS LONG UPPER LINK BARS WITH REVISED MOUNTING POINTS FOR IMPROVED ROLL CENTER, FORWARD BITE AND ANTI-SQUAT CHARACTERISTICS. THE REAR BULKHEAD IN THESE CARS (STRUCTURE BETWEEN PASSENGER COMPARTMENT AND TRUNCK) EXHIBIT EXCELLENT STRENGTH - ESPECIALLY WHERE THE BULKHEAD TIES INTO THE FLOORPAN AT THE TRANSMISSION TUNNEL. RIDETECH ENGINEERED A BRACE THAT BOLTS TO BOTH THE BULKHEAD AND THE REAR EDGE OF THE TRANSMISSION TUNNEL WHILE STILL ALLOWING YOU TO RUN A FULL BACK SEAT. SIMPLE HOLES ARE DRILLED INTO THE BULKHEAD WITHOUT ANY WELDING OF THE UNIBODY STRUCTURE.
THE TWO "UNICRADLE" MAIN TUBES RUN PARALLEL TO THE FRAME RAILS AS WELL AS THE UPPER SHOCK CROSSMEMBER AND FORWARD LOWER LINK BRACKETS. THESE MAIN TUBES BOLT TO THE FORE AND AFT LEAF SPRING EYE MOUNTING POINTS. THE LEAF SPRING MOUNTING POINTS ACCURATELY LOCATE THE ENTIRE SYSTEM TO CIRCUMVENT PRODUCTION VARIANCES THAT ARE COMMON TO THE SECOND GENERATION F-BODY PLATFORM. AS THESE CARS WERE PRODUCED OVER A 12-YEAR PERIOD, GM MADE PRODUCTION CHANGES TO THE REAR OF THE UNIBODY IN ORDER TO ACCOMMODATE EMISSION EQUIPMENT. FURTHERMORE, SECOND GENERATION F-BODIES EXHIBIT INHERENT VARIATIONS IN FRAME RAIL THICKNESS.
OUR SELF-CONTAINED DESIGN IS AN INNOVATIVE SOLUTION WITH EXCELLENT GEOMETRY AND A STRAIGHTFORWARD INSTALLATION PROCESS. THE DESIGN OFFERS DRAMATIC GAINS WITH RESPECT TO BOTH HANDLING AND RIDE QUALITY.
THE R-JOINT ROD ENDS COMBINE THE BEST QUALITIES OF LOW FRICTION MOVEMENT, LATERAL STABILITY, FULL RANGE ARTICULATION, AND QUIET OPERATION INTO ONE SPECIAL BEARING THAT IS AS HOME ON THE STREET AS IT IS ON THE RACETRACK!
