This months Super Chevy.
Permalink  
 

There is a picture on the upper right of the cover of this months Super Chevy. It shows Chassisworks brand new GM A-body rear suspension kit and there wasnt much of a description inside of the magazine about it. But it looks pretty nice in the photo. There isnt any details or even a mention of this on thier website yet.

Bryan and Scott. Did you guys happen to see this setup when you were at Sema? The article says it was shown at Sema.

I remember seeing it in the New Products area. Looked cool, but didn't take much notice honestly. Here's a short video and the info SEMA has on it:

Looks like a coil-over conversion with adjustable upper arms and huge sway bar. Could be neat, if the shock mount area of the frame will hold the stress.

I don't see anything really "wild" about it... it's just a bolt-in coilover kit like several companies have been making for years, adjustable arms with spherical bearings like EVERYBODY makes, and a frame-linked sway bar like Hellwig, Spohn, and a whole bunch of drag-race companies have been doing already.

Yeah, that's why I saw it and didn't really stop. There was TONS of stuff like that, like interior door trim panels for Chevelles. I can't think how anything hasn't been done several times already, so I looked and kept going. There was some stuff that was more than the ususal like an intake Scott pointed out to me which I will show in an upcoming newsletter (and Scott will probably review for real in print somewhere) and a cool muffler I'm going to feature this month if I can get enough info on it.

Yup- nice stuff but not groundbreaking. The composite modular intake Brian mentions is groundbreaking, by comparison. I'm still talking to AFR about testing one (the same intake can be single- or dual-plane...so I'm curious to test both configurations and see how they both do vs. my existing RPM Air Gap) and hopeful they'll be able to get me one. I want to weigh it, too...it's mighty light, but I don't know how light vs. a typical aftermarket alouminum casting.

The reason I asked is because I dont have anything to build on accept boxed lowers and a stock rear sway bar. A total package would be nice.
