| Global West offers a complete
front suspension system for 1967-69 Camaro / Firebirds. The new kit, part
number CNR-79 is one of the latest suspension NEGATIVE ROLL SYSTEMS we
have released. (Negative roll) refers to the tilt of the tire as it goes
up into the fender well during bumps and cornering. Negative means the top
of the tire tilts in towards the motor. Positive means the top of the tire
tilts out of the fender.) Global West has pioneered and developed
street able negative camber gain suspensions for production cars since the
early 80's. The first system released for 64-73 Mustangs was
developed in 1980. The second system was released in late1981, early 82
for 64-72 A-bodies. In fact, both kits CNR-40 AND CNR-12 are still the
hottest negative roll systems on the market for Chevelles, GTOs,
Skylark's, etc. The next system CNR-88 , was released in 1986 for
Chevelles, Grand National's and other G bodies. In 1998, CNR-79's was
released. CNR-79 fit's 1967-69 Camaro, Firebird, 68-74 Nova, and Ventura,
etc. CNR-79 is designed for use on or off the track. Yes! this is
street able without the harsh ride. In fact, we placed this system on
street cars for 2 years prior to release. Since all of our negative roll
systems have corrected suspension geometry, we can use soft springs on the
front end and still achieve outstanding cornering ability. For further
information see GM NEGATIVE ROLL SYSTEMS. In order to make negative roll work, we had to redesign the front suspension. This involved tubular upper control arms, special spindles, and a new steering system. By the time we finished making everything work correctly, we ended up with 4 items that were still stock. They are the idler arm, pitman arm, and both lower control arms. The rest of the suspension can be put in a box. Note: You could use your old springs, shocks, and sway bar. However, considering what this system is designed to do that would be a shame. This is what the system comes
with: Special tall modified spindles: Spindles are required for 2 main reasons.
Billet hubs:
Global West hubs are made of billet aluminum.
The photo to the left shows a hub being machined for the wheel studs. To the right shows completed hubs waiting to go to get hard anodize.
Hub bearings, races and seals: Wilwood aluminum hats: ( Note: We designed our hubs so the aluminum hats register on the hub not on the wheel studs). Coleman Stock car rotors: The choices are:
Wilwood 4 piston calipers: Super lite 2's (optional billet calipers). Wilwood brake pads : Polymatrix Black. This pad is designed for pavement applications. Wilwood adjustable proportioning valve Braided steel lines with fittings for the
calipers and hard line:
Global West Tubular upper control arms:
The upper arms are a different length than stock.
Tubular lower control arms for standard spring or
coil-over Special center link:
As you can imagine, if you change one thing you

They feature a hub centric brake

indexing. This means that the hat and rotor assembly index on the hub, not the
wheel studs. Our hubs are
designed for street or racing applications. Billet
bearing caps are also included.
They
also have more positive caster built into them. Positive caster provides
straight line stability plus promotes proper camber gain during cornering. The
upper arms are furnished assembled with offset upper control arm shafts,
Del-A-Lum bushings, upper ball joints, and upper control arm bump stops.

type coil spring.
