Roadster Shop Spec Chassis

Looking around for anyone that might have a RS Spec Chassis or know of someone/someplace that has done a review on its quality, fit/finish and ride. Been looking at one for my 78 C10.

Re: Roadster Shop Spec Chassis

The fact that these companies come forward with a new product for us is awesome! But as a retired ase auto mechanic and was to purchase a chassis, or a weld in/bolt on front suspension i have one requirement before anything else is an upper control arm that can be lengthened/shortened as needed. This is the best to ward off bumpsteer. All other ways of moving the upper control arm for caster and camber adjustments is moving the upper control arm inner pivot point inward/outward. Scotts ifs has the correct (in my mind) upper a arms that can be lengthened/shortened.

Just zero in on the upper arm adjustment. Uses shims? Adjustment slot? Offset cams? Not the best! To back up my info do a search and look up "make it handle" and read and re-read it. Best article i've found.

Good luck on your project!
