Two years ago, our friends at Hemmings reached out to us for help with their 1987 Camaro IROC-Z restoration project. This project, which would later become known as IROC Rehab, took a worn-out third-gen Camaro and revitalized it over the course of a six-video series. The car received a new Edelbrock crate motor, manual transmission, and tons of interior and exterior parts from the Classic Industries catalog. This month, Hemmings unveiled the first episode of IROC Rehab Season 2, where the car will receive even more upgrades and a full QA1 suspension kit.
The IROC Goes Pro-Touring
In the first season, the car received a few quick suspension updates from BMR, Koni, and QA1. This time around, it's getting a complete suspension refresh from front to back with a QA1 Level 3 handling kit.
The QA1 handling kit includes everything needed to make the Camaro corner like it's on rails (except for wide wheels and tires, of course). Up front, there's a new lightweight K member equipped with tubular control arms.
Hemmings also installed QA1 double-adjustable struts that can be tuned for aggressive street and track driving. They're topped with QA1's aluminum caster and camber plates, which feature laser-etched markings for quick adjustments between daily-driving and track setups.
These were just the beginning of the mods for Season 2 of IROC Rehab. In future episodes, Hemmings will install the rear suspension, new seats from TMI, and much more.
