I don't think there's any chance of the camber brace fitting with a SC on an L98; Procharger and Vortec both sit right on the left A-arm mount and flip the alternator forward right where the camber brace would be.

:iagree:
I had to take my camber brace off.....I really tried to figure a way...but it would take some major reworking/rewelding of it and then space to get at things would be about impossible...
I bolted up an X-brace from a conv. underneath, and that has helped tremendously with stiffening up the chassis....

A camber brace wouldn't fit with my Paxton either.

So a convertible wouldn't even really need a camber brace then?

With a conv. there's a lot less rigidity, so it can get real "flexible" without the x-brace. So I'd figure it could benefit from a camber brace also. As for if it's noticable-if you just cruise and never push it you probably wouldn't notice much diff. in coupe or conv.
