So with this kit installation does give you the same day handling
characteristics as a multi link suspension or am I comparing apples and
oranges with my question

HI YOU GUYS GOT ANY THING 4 THE S10 GUYS ITS A BIG MARKET LOT DO IT YOUR
SELFERS NOT ALL DROPED

Hey guys….. great video. The 10 bolt in the second generation (70-81)
F-Body cars is stronger than the 67-69 due to increased ring gear dia. The
cool thing about our kit is that we designed it with a 12 bolt upgrade in
mind. The only difference in the 10/12 bolt kits is the mounting plate
which can be orderd seperately. The kit we offer with a bare Ford 9″
housing is different than the 10/12 bolt kits in many ways due the mounting
differences.

Hey Charles!!! At this time we only have Tubular A-Arms for the front. I
agree that the S10 market is huge, but most guys won’t put $3K in a rear
suspension for the trucks due to the low resale value. I would LOVE to
build one with a Torque Arm though!

V8TV says:

That’s a valid concern, Darren. This car is primarily used for street
driving and will probably not see sticky tire drag-strip hard launches, so
the 10 bolt has survived so far. The owner will probably upgrade to a 12 or
9″ in the future, at which time we’ll change the Watt’s bracket
accordingly.

What size tire does it run and is the car tubbed?

Lawrence Eich says:

The 17inch wheels look perfect on these old F-body Birds, it’s a beautiful
car!

BMR COME OUT WITH ANY THIN 4 S10 GUYS ITS A BIG MARKET

Darren Betker says:

What did you guys do to the 10 bolt, to allow 600hp not to grenade it? I
have a 69 Camaro with a 572/640hp, 684tq, and I too have a 10 bolt. How do
I get it to survive?
