We use RaceCraft on all the 82-92 Camaro that we install Santhuff Struts on. The work great.

The Racecraft setup can be used with any strut right?

I don't know if the aftermarket upper strut mounts are legal in stock or super stock as I'm just a bracket racer. I have had your exact problem and bought a nice set on ebay that work with factory struts and aftermarket replacements. They are all steel and can accept a coilover also. They have 2 sets of adjustments and give you more caster.

Never say " just a bracket racer "... ha ha because that what most of these guys are once eliminations start , unless a heads up situation arises ...

I meant it more in the way that my bracket car doesn't have to fit rules like stock or super stock does.

I listed these in that thread that was linked. I got a deal on them on ebay. My originals were all dry and cracked. I was at a 3 day race and had a frt. end problem, the dreaded death wobble. I thought it was the strut mounts so I went hunting a pair. NAPA listed them but didn't have them in stock so I went to a junk yard and found a decent pair and installed them at the track. When I got home I found my real problem but bought the all steel with bearings which have been on the car now for a couple of years. Makes alignment a little easier and I can get more caster.
