Heidts Pro G (opinions)

[Rodknock]

Anyone running the Heidts Pro G front and IRS rear, that can give me a real world take on how well it works, especially street manners?
I am liking this setup for my 69 Camaro, and will finally have enough $$ to get it.
I'm not going to lie, I like the exotic look of it, even if it is not the very best handling system out there. My intent with the car is to drive it as much as possible to events (Power Tour, car shows etc), occasionally maybe autocross, and even some 1/4 mile action.
It will have an LS (maybe single turbo) power plant.
I'm still undecided weather to do manual or auto trans.
Out here in Wyoming there are a lot of 2 lane roads, with dips and potholes, so a good compliant suspension is pretty important.

I would break it down like this:
Street driving 95%
Drag 2.5%
Autocross 2.5%

TIA for your input.

Off the top of my head, I know that Randy Johnson from D&Z Customs has used their products on a couple of 2nd Gens and a Chevy II. If I'm not mistaken, he's a dealer for them so he might be a resource?

I have the front sub. It's a good system. For the same money I would consider Chassisworks

Yes, I did see an older video (4 or 5 years old maybe) of a white and also orange 2nd gen. Looked nice. The orange one was running the rear IRS system.

I'll look at Chassisworks also.. thanks

Thanks for the help.. I'll look at Chassisworks too. Hard to keep up with all the new tech out there. :confused59:

Give randy at d&z a call. He helped heidts with a few improvements to the pro g line. Randy is also a very nice guy with loads of information.

I highly recommend Randy. I know their second gen Camaro handled well. I think their first gen sub was an older design but maybe it's been updated by now.

Chassis works.. Big $$$ and lots of cutting and fab work, it looked like, unless I missed something.

Sounds good.. thank you all for your help.
Hope to meet some of you fine folks out there on the road one of these days.

Thanks for the good word, Tony!

Actually, we were the first to introduce a replacement front clip for the Camaro. There's a few thousand of them running around all over the world.

You may have been looking at the complete gStreet chassis. That's a great system but it sounds like it's probably overkill for your build. We offer a bolt-on clip that goes in place of the stocker and uses all the stock mounting points. It will accept up to a 10" tire.

There are three levels of suspension depending on whether you want to primarily track, street, or drag race the car. From what you said before, I would suggest the 7701-2 "Option" system. It gives improved ride quality and is competition proven, too. The entire system, from the frame to the spindles, is engineered and manufactured in house. Both of the cars pictured below were running this system.

Details on ALL current Camaro suspension options can be viewed in this downloadable guide.

Cool!!! Thanks!!!
Yes primarily street/hwy use. Not looking to cut up the floors or anything like that, other than mini tubs, or clearance for subframe connectors etc.

Okay, yeah that's what it sounded like. Actually, if you follow this link you can download instruction sheets for the front AND the rear suspension systems. http://www.cachassisworks.com/cac_library.html
