Checkered Flag Racing Suspension systems Indiana
Hello all,
I am building a 72 Nova. The forum has helped me many times over the years and now I am coming back for more. I am tired of dealing with a rusty front suspension and frame rails on the Nova. I found a company in Indiana called Checkered Flag Racing that builds a replacement front suspension for Nova and Camaro and many other cars. The Nova front comes complete with brakes and Mustang rack and pinion. I do not know anyone that has used their products before. Does anyone here know of them or have used their suspension offerings?
Thanks twolaneblacktop
Checkerd Flag suspension kits
I looked at the G Comp suspension on Speedway and for some reason it is no longer available. The Heidts system is $1K higher than the G Comp and the G Comp is $1K higher than the Checkered Flag system. The lower cost is really what concerned me. You usually get what you pay for. One thing I noticed, with both the G Comp and the Heidts systems it appears that they include motor mounts. The Checkered Flag system does not.
I'll take what you all have said and check further and report back.
Thanks
Checkered Nova Suspension
You guys are just great. I love the debate. I converted my stock drum brakes to discs a while back. I built a BBC for this Nova and went a little overboard HP and torque wise. So I took the front end off and the SBC out in order to clean up the frame rails, fire wall, and etc. I seem to be one of those people who doesn't know when to call good enough. I started scraping and sanding rust off the rails and soon decided that I had to pull it all apart and get down to bare rails. I will tell you that I HATE DEALING WITH RUST!! The plan was not show car stuff. I was just going to clean it up enough to paint it with POR15. This Nova is in really good shape so I don't want to screw this up and make a mess. That is when a friend put me on to Checkered. I work in Indiana all the time so I think I'll schedule a trip over to the shop. That is after I bone up on suspension and steering! I'll keep you all posted on how this goes and what I wind up doing.
Thanks
