Default Roadster Shop SPEC series debut

We are pleased to announce the debut of the all new SPEC series chassis from Roadster Shop.

With the Goodguys Columbus show this weekend, we are debuting the first two chassis in a lineup that will cover Chevelle, Camaro, C10, Tri-five and Impala. If you are at the show, make sure you stop by the booth and take a look at the Camaro and C10 SPEC series chassis on display.

"All well and good" you may be saying at this point. "It's a Roadster Shop chassis so it must be expensive, right??"
Here's the best part: all SPEC chassis start at $9895

So what is SPEC? Simply put, SPEC is the most advanced, highest quality chassis and suspension system available for a low budget.

The Benefits:
  • No kinks, bends or stressed areas that are prone to flex like mandrel bent tubing
  • Ability to contour to stock floors for no floor modifications on most applications
  • Stronger, lighter, and more precise.
  • CNC located factory mounts built into the frame for easy, vehicle specific installation
  • Frame rail designs to accommodate mini-tubs and up to 12” wide wheels

SPEC Series Chassis Standard Features:
  • RS exclusive “Laser Rails” precision CNC laser cut and contoured
  • Vehicle specific body mounts, bumper mounts, and other factory mounting locations
  • Crossmembers and chassis bracing to contour to factory floors allowing 3” exhaust
  • LS Engine mounts
  • Adjustable transmission mount accommodating all popular transmissions
  • Power rack and pinion steering
  • Easy to adjust upper a-arm eccentric mounts for fast and accurate alignments
  • Performance billet coilovers or air bag suspension
  • Wilwood dropped “Pro-Spindles”
  • Ford 9” housing with 31 spline axles
  • Frame rail designs to accommodate mini-tubs and up to 12” wide wheels

We will be posting more updates as we fulfill the full lineup after the initial debut so stay tuned!

Default A body 65 lemans

I currently have a ride tech air ride suspension ( shock waves) on a 65 lemans, will that system be able to be used on your new SPEC frames for a A-body?

Thanks Steve

Wow, that's not terribly priced at all, something that even I might be able to do someday!
