The only thing about the ifs is that my dad doesn't want to cut up my frame. I want the truck to sit low and showed him a lot of threads of camaro clip installs, but he doesn't want to do that. I am with you about the Camaro Clip, I want an ifs and explained to him that it would be more cost effective, like you said, to put a camaro clip in. He will probally end up paying a good bit of money to put discs on the front when he could buy a camaro clip that already has discs. I am 14 years old and my dad doesn't want to have a lot of money into this. I am eventually going to have to pay him the money that we have into the build. I know that he has the ability to do a camaro clip, but he just doesn't want to do that.
