this is question concerning my 69 camaro. it will have a fatman fabrications front sub frame with carerea coil overs up front and baer brakes all the way around. im not a big fan of tubbing but i can see the benefits of a mini tub. i know this is not stang related but camaro guys are to cocky to give an opinion without a my car is better than your car remark.

How wide are you wanting to go with the rears? Are you wanting something like street legal slicks? I personally think mini-tubs are quite alright, cuz they don't really ruin the interior of the car as far as space and appearance, and they allow for some big ass meats. I wouldn't be afraid of the mini-tubbing if I were you, cuz it's nothing uncommon in the older camaros.

BTW I LOVE 69 camaros. What kinda camaro is it, like Z28, SS, base camaro? I would love to see some pics and hear more about the car.

EDIT: just saw it was a Z28 in your sig.

its an x77 code z28. i would love to go through and do it original but finding the correct parts and the money to buy them would take forever. i love pro touring classics so that is what im gonna go and do. i was thinking of 17x9 out back. detroit speed and engineering has a 2" drop and a 3" drop kit for $1299.99.
