Your Camaro.
Built around your plan.
Parts for the 1970–1981 Chevrolet Camaro, organized by the systems that move your build forward. Shop the details yourself, or bring us the whole plan. We’d like to earn your business beyond the first upgrade.
Start with your setup
- Identify your vehicle: Exact year, current brakes, engine and emissions/exhaust configuration.
- Choose a system: Use the links above to compare the selected parts and read the installation requirements beside them.
- Plan the supporting parts: Check what is included, what is sold separately and what changes with your existing hardware.
- Bring LTAC your build checklist if you want help matching the package.
Each product has its own application limits. The year range on this page does not mean every part fits every vehicle in that range.
01 / Match the spindle first
Two year ranges. Two front kits.
Wilwood Dynalite four-piston black calipers and 12.19-inch drilled and slotted rotors. These front-axle kits are selected for the factory disc-brake spindle in the year ranges below.
1979–1981 · 140-9053-D
Late second-gen front brakes
For the original 1979–81 factory disc spindle. Spindle machining, drilling and tapping required. A 1978 Camaro belongs in the earlier application; identify swapped spindles separately.
View product & current price
Plan the complete brake system: Hose kit 220-10509 is specified separately for both kits. Rear brakes, master cylinder and proportioning must suit your combination. These are front kits, not complete four-wheel conversions. Have LTAC help assemble the supporting parts.
02 / Chassis & handling
Build a better front end.
1970–1981 · QA1 52718
Street Performance upper control arms
A front upper-arm pair for the second-generation Camaro, with polyurethane bushings and assembled ball joints. Check the complete suspension combination and arrange a professional alignment before driving. Lower arms, springs and shocks are separate.
View product & current priceQA1’s published alignment targets assume the specified matching upper and lower arms. A mixed suspension needs its own setup; these arms do not establish compatibility with every brake or spindle conversion.
03 / Electrical foundation
Wire the build you’re making.
1970–1973 only · American Autowire 510034
Classic Update wiring kit
For a modified 1970–73 Camaro. Supports an internally regulated alternator; factory ammeter operation is not supported. Factory A/C wiring is not included. Confirm ignition, charging and accessory requirements against the instructions supplied with your kit.

Finish the system: These are tank-and-pump assemblies, not complete EFI conversions. Plan the return regulator, lines, post-pump filter, wiring, venting and gauge compatibility.

Read the product details before ordering. Have LTAC help coordinate the supporting parts.

What’s next for your Camaro?
Engine swaps, cooling, steering and fuel delivery depend on what is in the car now. Browse our full categories or let LTAC put the next parts list together around your engine, transmission and chassis.
Full-catalog browsing: The category links below are not filtered for Camaro fitment. Verify each part’s application before ordering.
Know the combination before you order.
Has your Camaro’s front end been changed?
Year alone cannot identify a swapped spindle or aftermarket suspension. Match the actual components to the kit instructions. Send LTAC the part numbers and clear photos if you need help identifying them.
Will the brakes clear my wheels?
Check the exact kit’s wheel-clearance template, bolt pattern and hub fit. Wheel diameter alone is not enough. Confirm clearance before modifying the spindle.
Can I shop without a build consultation?
Absolutely. Each featured product links directly to its LTAC product page for current price and purchasing. If you want help coordinating several systems, we’re here for that too.
