Why Choose Scott’s Camaro,
Firebird & Nova IFS Front Clip?

Transform the handling, steering and stance of your classic Camaro, Firebird or Nova with a Scott’s Hotrods 100% Bolt-On IFS Front Clip. Designed for 1st Gen Camaro and Firebird applications as well as 1968-1972 Chevy Nova, the Scott’s front clip replaces the factory front subframe and outdated suspension with a completely modern Independent Front Suspension system—without cutting, grinding or welding the clip to your car.

Unlike a universal front suspension adapted to fit multiple vehicles, every Scott’s IFS Front Clip is manufactured around the specific application and your build requirements. The system combines a heavy-duty one-piece crossmember and bolt-on subframe with massive DOM Tubular Upper & Lower A-Arms, rack & pinion steering, forged steel spindles, built-in anti-dive, adjustable upper A-Arms and a standard sway bar. Choose Coilovers for performance-oriented handling or step up to the SuperSlam Airbag Front Clip for adjustable ride height and an aggressive, pavement-hugging stance.

100% Bolt-On — No Cutting or Welding Required

One of the biggest advantages of the Scott’s Camaro, Firebird & Nova IFS Front Clip is the installation. The complete front clip is engineered to bolt to the vehicle without cutting, grinding or welding the new clip into place. That gives builders a clean way to replace the factory front suspension and subframe with modern suspension technology while avoiding the extensive fabrication required by many custom front suspension conversions.

But bolt-on doesn’t mean generic. Scott’s builds the front clip using the same heavy-duty construction and suspension philosophy found throughout our custom IFS line. The result is a purpose-built front suspension system designed to dramatically modernize steering response, suspension geometry, handling, braking capability and overall drivability while retaining a straightforward bolt-on installation.

This is NOT a Mustang II Front Suspension

Scott’s Hotrods IFS has never been a Mustang II suspension and is not based on Mustang II geometry. Our Camaro, Firebird & Nova Front Clip utilizes a true Independent Front Suspension system featuring unequal-length Tubular Upper & Lower A-Arms manufactured from massive 1-1/8″x1/4″-wall seamless DOM tubing, a one-piece 2″x4″x3/16″-wall crossmember, oversized serviceable press-in ball joints and CNC-machined stainless steel fully adjustable upper A-Arm rod ends.

We don’t rely on a three-piece crossmember with spring-pocket hats or T-bolt slider adjusters for alignment. Scott’s IFS provides precise suspension adjustment through our fully adjustable upper A-Arms and incorporates built-in anti-dive, rack & pinion steering, forged steel spindles, Grade 8 hardware and 100% TIG-welded construction. This is a modern performance suspension engineered for the vehicle—not an old Mustang II design adapted to fit your Camaro, Firebird or Nova.

1st Gen Camaro IFS Front Clip

Upgrade your 1967, 1968 or 1969 Camaro with a modern Scott’s Hotrods Bolt-On IFS Front Clip. Whether you’re building a street-driven restomod, LS/LT-swapped Camaro, Pro Touring car or high-horsepower G-Machine, the Scott’s front clip gives the front of your Camaro the modern suspension, steering and braking foundation needed to match the performance underneath the hood.

With rack & pinion steering, Tubular A-Arms, modern Coilovers or SuperSlam air suspension, forged spindles and available Wilwood brake upgrades, the Scott’s Camaro front clip is designed for builders who expect their classic Camaro to do more than look good parked.

 

1st Gen Pontiac Firebird IFS Front Clip

Scott’s Camaro IFS Front Clip can also be configured for 1967-1969 Pontiac Firebird applications, giving classic Firebird builders access to the same modern suspension technology. Scott’s provides a modern foundation for everything from a comfortable street cruiser to a serious Pro Touring or restomod build.

Whether you’re keeping traditional Pontiac power or building a modern drivetrain combination, the Scott’s Firebird IFS Front Clip combines modern rack & pinion steering, heavy-duty Tubular A-Arms, available performance brakes and your choice of Coilover or SuperSlam suspension in a complete bolt-on package.

 

1968-1972 Chevy Nova IFS Front Clip

The current page says it can be configured for ’68–’72 Novas, but that’s basically buried in one sentence.

Give your 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971 or 1972 Chevy Nova modern front suspension without compromising the classic character of the car. The Scott’s Nova IFS Front Clip replaces the original front suspension with modern rack & pinion steering, heavy-duty Tubular A-Arms, Coilover or SuperSlam suspension and available high-performance brake packages.

Whether you’re building an LS-swapped Nova, Pro Touring Nova, high-horsepower street car or modern restomod, Scott’s gives you a front suspension engineered to provide the steering response, suspension control and adjustability needed to make modern horsepower usable.

Build Your Front Clip Your Way

Scott’s Hotrods allows you to configure your Camaro, Firebird or Nova IFS Front Clip around the performance level and appearance of your build. Choose manual or available power rack & pinion steering, Coilover or SuperSlam suspension, standard or dropped forged steel spindles and a wide selection of brake packages ranging from the standard GM brake setup to available Wilwood 4-Piston, 6-Piston and AERO6 performance brakes.

The goal is simple: instead of buying a basic front clip and replacing half of it later, configure the suspension, steering, brakes and stance you want from the beginning.

Built for LS, LT & Modern Drivetrain Swaps

Building an LS-swapped Camaro, LT-powered Firebird or modern drivetrain Nova? Scott’s can configure your IFS Front Clip around a wide variety of traditional and modern engine combinations. Available engine mounts include Small-Block Chevy, Big-Block Chevy, LS and LT, along with several Ford and Mopar combinations for builders doing something completely outside the box.

This makes the Scott’s front clip an ideal starting point for a complete restomod or performance transformation. Instead of installing modern horsepower while retaining decades-old front suspension and steering technology, you can upgrade the entire front foundation of the vehicle at the same time.
