I'm considering buying the ATS kit from SC&C which includes the upper A-arms. I'd just like to hear from people who have this installed and what their thoughts on it are. My car is lowered and I hate the constant steering adjustments needed to keep it on the road.

You won't regret buying the kit from SC&C. Here is my post after finishing the install: http://www.chevelles.com/forums/showthread.php?t=147492

I don't have them yet but I will soon.

Geometry wise, they are very good - not perfect, but very very good. They were designed primarily for 1st gen Camaros, so they were not quite optimized for lateral roll-center migration on the A-body chassis... they are better than any other bolt-on spindles available.

The engineering and testing that went into them for strength, and fabrication is excellent. Tyler and Shane really did their homework.

The fact they use C5 hubs, bearings, and easily bolt on C5 brakes is a major bonus. Any parts-store can get you replacement parts. :thumbsup:

So it is a pretty night and day difference then, good, that is what I was looking for. We will have pretty similar suspension setup afterward, only I have cheap shocks in the rear still.

I read on the instructions that they recommend replacement after 235,000 miles. I'll let the kids worry about that.

The 67 elky gets the spindle & disc brake setup hand-me-downs so that will save me some money on that project... that is what I need for justification of this purchase, anyway.

This is the first thing I did to the Chevelle ... and I cant believe I waited that long... Night and Day difference... I now take corners at 70 mph... maybe faster but only because I slide off my bench seat ....my next step is coilovers to tune the suspension... and bucket seats to keep me in front the the steering wheel...

Mike,
Nice install!

I read your thread regarding the parts you chose to use and noticed you went with the Eradispeed+ rotor and Corvette C-5 calipers. Is there a specific part number you can provide or is one Corvette C-5 caliper the same as any other C-5 caliper? I am going the same route and am going to do the same thing with the front calipers, the Corvette C-5. Like you I will have the Baer calipers in the rear as I currently do with the Corvettes up front.

Thanks,
Sam

Sam,

Thanks for the compliment, Sam. I bought the Corvette calipers, the black version, from GMPartsDirect. If you send me your email addy, then I'll send you a parts list for the front brakes. Be carefull about the "handling" charge at GMPartsDirect and include that in your price comparisons. I also have a spreadsheet with all the parts sources and prices for the 1965 front and rear suspension/steering/brake upgrade I can share... might help a bit.
