Camaro Clip is Lighter, & Front FrameHorns are Slimmer, than the NOVA. They BOTH use the Same Bolt On Parts/ Spindles,CenterLink,Control Arms, Etc.......

Would it be safe to assume the nova clip is more durable?

NOVA Frame Horns are More Bulky, so YES, probably More Durable Stock. Choice Probably is gonna depend on what you are after, Durability, or Saving a Little Front End Weight?

Nova front frame horns bend easier than the camaro. The camaro horn comes straight ou,t where the nova horns angle up. I think its a factory weak point. If your mounting a camaro sub on a nova body, you'll have to cut the front mounts off the subframe and move them up.

Thanks for the info guys. Sounds like camaro subframe is the best of both worlds. Chad, are referring to the two body mounts near the firewall?
