82 - 92 Camaro front struts and springs
 

Let me hear what front strut and springs are being run for a 3rd gen F body stocker. Specifically, a 1990 Firebird in IHRA Crate Motor, SBC weighing about 3050 with driver.

Thanks

Since I am not on a tight budget and generally buy upper end parts, those links did not help me. Still open to hearing from other racers.

Thanks

True Choice if you want double adjustable struts. Or, Koni if you want single adjust. If you do the True Choice be sure you request that you want them as loose as possible on the extension. Their struts are a modified Koni. I built a '91 Camaro for a customer, we started off with the Koni's, then sent them in to True Choice to be modified. When we got them back they were too tight at the loosest setting on the extension, had to send them back to be changed. I think I would try the Koni's, then if you have to have more resistence on the compression you can send them to True Choice to be changed to double adjust.

I agree I raced an 85 Camaro for 3 years and the konis rocked.

I switched over from some old Koni singl adj to Vari-Shock Dbl adj. a couple months ago. Difference was night and day. The range of adjustment is right where ot needs to be in my opinion. I had to replace the upper mount bearing, but I am very happy with being able to make a quick adjustment to conditions and can tell a change was made.

Since budget is not a concern, here you go:

The Santhuff parts are not legal for my application. The stockers, [including IHRA Crate Motor classes] must run the OE spring and strut configuration.
