May be simple question but have gotten controversy on this .

I bought a set of Willwood disc brakes for my 70 T/A from a vendor. I asked for the kit with parking brake . Ok so I picked up kit and was on my way. After opening box and fitting backing plates ect to rear I realized this kit was for no staggered rear . I called vendor and explained the kit was wrong. Well they agreed to exchange it but It was my fault for not saying it was staggered. because not all 70 T/A 's were staggered

I was under the impression that all 1970 models were staggered. Looking at the way the sheetmetal is in the rear, I don't see how it could be non staggered.

Yes your correct . I just went and looked at my car . That means both 2 gen Camaro and all Firebirds were. Funny he said he had two in shop that were not staggered. they may have been modified ...Thinking he did not want to pay shipping on return.

great answer Thanks much

Were they not leaf springs? that's how they operate.

ok...i'm an idiot...what does staggered mean as it relates to shocks...

One shock is mounted in front of the axle tube on one side of the car and the other shock is mounted behind the axle tube on the opposite side of the car. F bodies from 1968 on were built this way to help prevent axle wrap on acceleration.
