AMT 70 1/2 Z28 rear end question

[tjones87]

I was noticing there are 2 rear ends in this kit...one seems to have more material were the springs mount? What would be the outcome of using it over the other one...pic below so you know what I am talking about...thanks

The one with the more material where the springs mount would make the rear of the car sit lower if I'm not mistaken, kind of like using blocks on a 1:1....

ok thanks...that is what i was thinking, but wasn't sure

I think just the opposite The blocks with a leaf spring will raise the body up for bigger rear tires...just like lifting a 4X4.

the leaf springs go under the rear end on the camaros, so it would be pushing the rear end up into the wheel wells. I was looking at my 1:1 and figured out I need to use longer shackles to lift the rear end up for bigger tires...which i plan on doing. thanks again

Yep..that is correct....it looked the opposite, but the instructions will tell you for sure.

One is for the Baldwin Motion version. It comes with Cragars and Mickey Thompson tires for the rear. So, tire clearance was needed for it. The other is, of course, for the stock Z/28.
