TRZ Motorsports Front Upper Coil-Over Mounts (1967 - 1969 Camaro / Firebird / 1968 - 1974 Nova) - 316-2
Front Upper Coil-Over Mounts for 67 - 69 Camaro & Firebird, 68 - 74 Nova
The TRZ Motorsports Front Upper Coil-Over Mounts provide a major suspension upgrade for 1967 - 1969 Camaro and Firebird, and 1968 - 1974 Nova platforms. These mounts replace the factory stud-style upper shock mount with a precise bearing-style coil-over mounting system, eliminating rubber bushing deflection and dramatically improving suspension consistency, handling precision, and long-term durability.
Each mount bolts onto the backside of the upper cross-shaft frame mount for proper coil-over location. Welding is required after initial bolt-on positioning to finalize installation. Once installed, the system accepts any 1" wide x 1/2" ID upper shock mount, allowing you to run performance coil-overs instead of the sloppy rubber bushing factory configuration.
The kit includes LH/RH upper mounts, (2) Grade 8 shock bolts with nylocks, and (2) travel limiter bolt pad brackets (when applicable for G-Body and S10 platforms). The design eliminates rubber flattening and compression that occurs over time, resulting in more accurate suspension movement and better control.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do these mounts need to be welded?
Yes. After initial bolt-on positioning, the mounts must be welded to the frame for proper installation and long-term strength.
What type of shocks are compatible?
Any 1" wide x 1/2" ID upper bearing shock will work. Most applications should use a 4" stroke coil-over unless noted otherwise in the installation instructions.
