12. To keep our Camaro well sprung, CPP included a set of coil springs along with custom-valved Bilstein shocks. For guys that don’t need to mess with ride height, these offer great performance for a lot less cash than a coilover system.

13.Using our previous floor jack trick, we carefully installed the new coil springs. Again, this is an exercise you want to go slow and careful with. Once the two control arms were close enough, we put the new spindle assembly in place and secured it using castle nuts and cotter pins.

14. We could then install the new Bilstein shocks. CPP included clip nuts, but we preferred to use some Grade 8 nuts and lock washers with their supplied bolts.

15. With the new control arms installed, the rest was crazy easy to do. The front spindle, hub, steering arm, and brake parts came completely pre-assembled from CPP. The bearings were packed and brake pads installed; all we had to do was toss the whole deal between the control arms and secure it in place.

16. The key to the assembly was this CPP 2-inch drop spindle. Its design lowers the car while allowing the use of the stock steering arm. Another benefit is that it works with any disc brake system; from a factory 11-inch to the big 13-inch kit we’re installing. Forged from high-carbon 1045 alloy steel with a chromoly axle pin, it’s pretty much bulletproof.

17. The twin-piston calipers will be a huge leap forward from the old brakes, and the zinc-washed, drilled, and slotted rotors will work as good as they look. The powdercoating and zinc cost a bit extra, but they both ensure that the parts will stay great looking for a long time.

18. Here you can see the difference between the smaller stock sway bar and the 1.25-inch solid replacement bar from CPP. A bigger bar is the quickest way to tame body roll in any car, and this ’67 really needed help in this area.

19. With the suspension loaded and compressed, we were then able to assemble and install the sway bar endlinks. With this done, we only had to run a grease gun over all the zerk fittings, and the front half of this CPP system was moved to the “finished” category.

20. Our Camaro originally ran 15-inch Rally wheels around its stock brakes. Unfortunately, those wheels were a “no-go” with the new bigger brakes, so we picked up a set of 18-inch polished Streeters by Show Wheels and some Nitto NT555 tires (235/40-18 front and 265/40-18 rear). The wheels (18x8 front and 18x9 rear) are high-quality castings that will look great and not bust our budget. The tires have a 300 treadwear rating, which means they will last long and perform well. We’ll mount ’em later, right now we just wanted to check fitment. Next issue we will bolt on the rear parts and hit our test track.
