Modern Performance and Handling for your Classic Camaro
It’s no secret that first-generation Camaros have got the look. The designers at GM knocked it out of the park when they sketched up those curvaceous lines all those years ago, and that impeccable design has stood the test of time. Not to mention the fact that the engineers stuffed some truly legendary powerplants under that beautiful sheet metal. The only part that has aged less gracefully is the suspension. GM did its best to make the Camaro handle, but they were working with skinny bias ply tire technology and otherwise had their hands tied by concessions to everyday use and ease of mass-production.
In the past, many have tried to make their Camaro’s handling match its looks by bolting up individual components. A sway bar here, some better shocks there, and maybe even a disc brake conversion, but these individual upgrades often created new problems or just didn’t quite work as well as expected. It became clear over the years that it would take a completely new approach to really transform the handling personality of a first-gen Camaro.
With the goal of total transformation in mind, Speedway Motors’ engineers went to the drawing board and got to work on a complete bolt-in front suspension with modern geometry designed to infuse these 60’s classics with some modern performance technology. The result is the G-Comp 1967-69 Camaro Front Suspension Kit
Optimal Camber and Lowered Ride Height to Keep the Tires Planted
Geometry is at the heart of G-Comp. When the first Camaros were rolling off the production line, they were equipped with bias-ply tires and mere inches of rubber meeting the road. When pushed hard into a corner, the stock front suspension made matters worse, losing camber as it compressed and leaving the rolled-over tire hanging on for dear life. G-Comp front suspensions don’t make any compromises to that archaic design, instead they’re clean-sheet designs precisely engineered to make the most of modern pro-touring tires with wide tread and sticky compounds. G-Comp is engineered with optimal camber gain, meaning that as the suspension compresses in a hard corner, the top of the tire is pulled in, keeping that wide rubber planted to the pavement.
These cars have been front and center since the very beginning of the Pro Touring movement. They look great lowered with big wheels and rubber stuffed into the corners. The G-Comp suspension will drop the front of your Camaro 3 to 4 inches depending on tire size and spring settings. On top of that, the adjustable coilovers allow fine-tuning of the ride height so you can nail that killer stance. More than just looking cool, your slammed Camaro will also have a lower center of gravity for even more corner-carving capability.
We know from firsthand experience how G-Comp can totally transform the character of an old muscle car. G-Comp suspensions were not just designed to work on paper. They have been extensively driven, raced, and abused in our own fleet of test cars by Team Speedway, who can be found most weekends at the autocross track, dodging cones and taking notes about how to make G-Comp suspensions better, stronger, and faster.
Fully Bolt-In for Easy Installation with No Welding
Lucky for all of us, GM made it relatively easy to remove the stock Camaro front subframe, making it easy to ditch that archaic stock front suspension without getting out the torch or cutoff wheel. The G-Comp front subframe bolts right up to the stock mounting locations utilizing stock-style mounting bushings.
G-Comp suspensions are built in our state-of-the-art Lincoln, Nebraska manufacturing facility. Subframes and control arms are welded in precision fixtures and billet components are CNC machined to exacting tolerances. Every kit is then verified to ensure it will fit your car and deliver on the promise of true bolt-in performance. They ship to you in bare steel, ready for paint or powdercoat in your desired color scheme.
Rack-and-Pinion Steering Out of the Box
Rack-and-pinion steering is engineered into the G-Comp front suspension and the rack is included in the kit. A steering rack is lightweight, compact, and precise, offering quick and crisp steering feedback well suited to performance driving. That’s why the OE’s have been using them for decades. Because of all the benefits, installing a steering rack is a common upgrade to classic muscle cars, but care must be taken when installing a rack to the stock suspension. If the steering rack is not sized and positioned properly to work in concert with the suspension geometry, any improvement will be lost to nasty bump steer and dangerous handling. G-Comp suspensions are engineered with the rack-and-pinion where it needs to be to deliver safe, reliable, precise steering.
Coilover and Brake Kits to Further Personalize Your G-Comp Suspension
Coilover shocks are a common upgrade for many classic muscle car owners looking for better performance. G-Comp suspensions are designed for coilovers, adding another dimension of adjustability and performance to the equation. Coilovers make it easy to adjust ride height and even change spring rates to tune the ride to your preference. We offer a variety of coilover shocks with fixed or adjustable valving. Adjustable shocks add yet another tuning option to dial in the perfect setup for your car. We have found with our fleet of test cars that an adjustable shock is a must for a serious track or dual-purpose car. The ability to adjust the shock’s compression and rebound is a valuable tool when it comes to setting up a car to handle just the way you want.
