Camber brace warning
I don't know if this is a problem with all LT1/LT4 cars but I noticed that the A/C lines are right up against the Camber Brace and therefore rub. Over time this may result in the A/C line getting worn down by the Camber Brace. I "fixed it" by sliding a cut open piece of radiator hose around the A/C line that was rubbing against the Camber Brace. Not a big deal but maybe over 30k miles a leak may form if you did not put this protection in place.

Re: Camber brace warning (ericcer)
Interesting. Mine clears by about 3/16" on my LT4. The rubber is a good idea though. Whatever, the handling improvement is more than worth the extra effort to protect the A/C lines. Then add a rollbar and you'll start thinking it is really a solid car!

Re: Camber brace warning (ericcer)
I've noticed a lot of differences in the AC lines. They bend fairly easily, so if they are rubbing, you might pull them away from the brace slightly. Your rubber hose is a good idea, I have even used foam insullation like they use on water lines and nylon tie it into place.
Thanks for pointing this out for everyone.
