Strut dimensions for camber plates - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

51LE50 · 02-09-2018, 03:38 PM

Hello everyone, I was looking to have Vorschlag make a set of camber plates for my car. They have dimensions for the SS and 1LE, but mine is a 1LE with the full Z/28 Multimatic suspension and they don't have those dimensions on file.
I've got the car up on a lift but of course don't have a deep 24mm socket handy.
So, figured I'd post this question and see if anyone has the info handy.
Attached is a file from Vorschlag for the dimensions.
Thanks,

Hmmm, I believe the DSSV dimensions should be the same as the 1LE, since the OE top mount is the same. I also have the DSSVs.

Don't have my micrometer with me so just used my tape measure but other than OAL, the dimensions look the same to me.
The nut on top is the same pitch and thread, which from a manufacturers perspective makes sense to keep parts common.

I've been thinking about trying to get hold of a ZL1 1LE 6th gen DSSV front strut to take a look at and do a comparison.

The bottom end mount to the upright looks very similar.

The rollbar droplink attachments could be sorted. It's just whether it would be possible to swap some components around at the top end to make it fit, and whether the overall length and springrate are close to appropriate.

The body is alloy so it would be a significant weight saving.

That would be cool to see - they're also height adjustable in the front, which would be a great addition.

Re: the Z/28 springs - they are the same dia as the 1LE springs and use the same perch

Thinking outside the box

nice!
Do the Vorschlag plates add height?

Off topic,
Aris, you still liking the DSE kit on your Z?
