1980, 1981 Camaro and Firebird Econo-Track-Kit Part # ETK-8081
For 1980 and 1981 Camaro and Firebird applications Global West has come up with a perfect dual purpose performance suspension upgrade. Named Econo-Track-Kits, these kits replace the Del-a-lum control arm bushings, upper cross shafts and ball joints for street, and drag race applications. The kits are legal for many classes including the following: Stock also called Street, Super Street, Super Stock, Mean Street, Extreme Street, True Street, Open Comp, and any of the ET classes. The components featured are Global West Del-a-lum bushings, offset control arm shafts, and upper and lower ball joints. Del-a-lum bushings are a direct replacement. Simply press out the stock bushings including the shell and then press in the new Del-a-lum bushings. Del-a-lum bushings act like a bearing therefore they provide smooth movement up and down without deflecting fore and aft. The bushings reduce drag in the front end, allowing the front to raise and transfer load rapidly. In addition to the bushings, offset upper control arm shafts are provided in the kit. Offset shafts allow you to increase caster and still maintain camber. Why do you need more caster? Caster provides straight line stability and increased cornering ability. Well you don’t need cornering ability on a drag car but if your car is dual purpose --- you will. For example: Let’s take a 74-81 Camaro, the stock alignment using stock shafts and control arms is --- caster 1 degree negative to 1 degree positive, camber 1/4 positive to 1-3/4 positive and toe-in is set at 1/16 to 5/16 in. Our alignment specifications for drag racing is ---- Caster - 5 1/2 degrees positive, camber with car lifted 1-inch set at 0, and toe-in set to 1/32 in per side measured pushing out on the tires. If you use the factory arms and standard shafts you will not get those alignment specifications. By installing the offset shafts you will be able to get the alignment pretty close. You will still be a couple degrees off but the car will respond to the new settings. For street driving set the front end up to the following specifications --- caster 4 degrees positive on the passenger side – driver side 3 1/2 degrees, camber 1/2 degree negative both sides (car on the ground not lifted) and set toe --- toe-in 3/32 total pushing out on the tires. If you jumped class and can use our tubular arms, your alignment will change and be even better. Alignment specifications are included with each kit.
