    I am going to redo my '50 Chevy sedan that has a too wide Camaro clip on it. I will be starting over with a new (original) frame. So who makes the best aftermarket IFS kits?

    I will either go the bad or coil over route, leaning more toward coil overs.
     
  2. Ch***is Engineering makes a bolt in one. Never heard any complaints on theirs. If your handy with a welder, go with the Welder Series. Todd

    I put in a bolt in M-II cross member from RB's about 10 years ago and it has been great. It took one afternoon to drop out the stock one on my 47 Chevy, bolt in the new cross member and bolt up the stock M-II components I had in the back of the shop. Geometry was perfect and I didn't have to worry about welding temporary bars accross the front, measurement correctness,etc. I've got 40,000 plus miles on it and no problems.RB's moved from Seattle to Arizona after my purchase and, I think, closed last year, but the outfit they got the crossmember from is still in business. Someone on HAMB from the Seattle area will know who they are.

    It's too bad the origional installation of the Camaro front sub didn't include a subtle narrowing of the front sub- frame. Not that hard to do and it makes a super handling package that has a ton of aftermarket support.

    haha Don't worry, we can still get a good "IFS isn't traditional" fight going.

    Heidt's Superide IFS. used 'em. love 'em. way better than any MII. Application for chevy stops at '49, but I bet they have an answer for a '50 model.

    Since the cars came with IFS there will be no need for the IFS fight.

    Thanks for the link, sometimes I do not have the time to search through threads.
