Ridetech’s performance subframe line-up now includes the popular 2nd Gen GM F-Body platform! Now owners of 1970-1981 Camaros or Firebirds can enjoy the same added performance, at speed stability and confidence behind the wheel in their classic muscle car. A fresh approach was taken when it comes to features that builders and enthusiasts often look for and Ridetech has delivered. The upgraded rack and pinion steering transforms the driver experience, and our design accommodates both coil-over or air suspension. Designing our own subframe allowed achievement of improved suspension geometry beyond what the factory subframe design would allow, and the Fox Factory monotube shocks (single rebound adjustable (HQ) or triple adjustable(TQ) keep your front tires glued to the street or the track.
