i owned a 89 10.5 outlaw camaro at one time. It was the test car for southside suspension

the best advise i can give you here is lose the crash bar up front. and invest in a tublar k-member with a-arms its all factory bolt on stuff.

the reason i say this is beacuse the k-membr kit will serve dual puposes which will be more pratcial for you #1 the weight #2 it will free up valuable header and oil pan space..in these cars you will need it.

the rear glass will shed a lot of weight but you may not want to lose the weight in that area..it could work against you.

depending on what your wanting to do with the car..if its gonna be a street car with a little play time at the strip dont bother rapeing the car....i get a kick out of people that scream weight,weight,weight...and then tell us the car will be a street car.....weight loss only applies getting the car moving from a dead stop ( leaving the line)..you take a street car running down the highway it can be 6,000 lbs..doesn't matter once its in motion thats it..its in motion..
