Re: Last minute build issues, camaro clip
Ive installed a set of qa1 front coilovers on my 54 gmc truck. I too wasn’t sure of the spring rate. What I did was go to the local QT and weighed my truck. First total weight, then pulled just the front end on the scale, then the back end. The two front and rear weights totals were 40 lb. short of the total. I guess not bad for a scale meant to weigh tractor trailers.
Called QA1 twice for their thoughts and called the selling vender, and came up with 450 lb. spring rate. They work just fine. I think the 55 will weigh a bit more than the 47-54.
I too have a Camaro clip on the 54, and they are a bit wide for the 47-54. I cut an inch out of the top and bottom a frames. Later I found out about the race arms from speedway. I wish I would of known before I narrowed the tops. They work fine just not that easy to do.
Didn’t know about the G-body frames. Sounds like you’re on the right track.
Good luck Shawn
