Need advice on where to go next on suspension.
I've got an extra $600 from tax return to put into the car, pretty sure it needs to go towards suspension but don't know which direction to go in with the budget.
Was leaning towards lowering springs (either 1inch or 1.2inch not sure which) and something else. Any advice would be appreciated. :thanks: 2012 SS L99 Currently equipped with: Magnaflow 16483 exhaust SP long tube headers 1 7/8th Magnaflow HF cats Adm race CAI w scoop Ls3 conversion Gt 11 cam Adm tune MM ported TB 3.45 gears Strut Tower brace Solid Subframe Brushings :rolling5thgen: |
I would suggest a full set of BMR Sways (SB037), and front end link kit (ELK005). And don't forget about this….

Depends on what you want. In my book lowering springs would be (and was) one of the first things I would do. That'll eat up about $400 with and alignment. Don't forget to have your bushings timed.
Then look at swaybars if you like cornering or cradle bushing inserts if want your car too feel more firmly planted. You'll want both eventually. Check out Whiteline for cradle bushing inserts since Pedders is out of the picture for now. EDIT: just noticed you have the solid bushings and from all your stuff I'm guessing all done by ADM. That will narrow it back down to sway bars or lowering springs. I suggest springs because these cars look like 4x4 stock IMO. I'm also assuming you live fairly close to ADM and we don't have much for cornering around here unless you run some Auto-X events. Again, you'll eventually want both but it's just a matter of which one first. |
Thank you for the advice.
If I may ask a side question, I was wondering if you could explain to me why you offer adjustable and non adjustable trailer arms and toe rods. Why would I pick adjustable over non adjustable or visa verse? Many thanks for your answer in advance. |
Hotchkis 1 inch springs and adjustable sway bars.

Springs and Sway Bars!
BMR, Hotchkis and Eibach are all good choices! PM or Call me with any questions. Thanks JT |
I've seen too many people regret getting springs simply because within a year or two they want more, here's the next step without getting crazy expensive:
For an extra $300 (although I'm sure if you PM'd them, you could get a camaro5 discount): http://ohio-speed.com/p-4179-2010-20...cdk-cca10.aspx Adjustible height, adjustible dampening. Better performance and more control over springs alone. Multiple birds with one stone. Link to the classifieds post: http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showth...ighlight=megan |

If you have a budget of 600, how long would it take to raise that to a $1000 budget?
Coilovers are the way to go on the camaro, when you do just the lowering springs (especially on the V6) I hear a lot of complaints about ride quality, but not so many with coilovers complain. If i can help let me know, even if you want advice on parts i don't sell, i'll do what i can to help |
I want to thank everyone for their advice. It was very helpful.
I decided to go with the following: couldn't pass up 20% off. BMR Fabrication Driveshaft Tunnel Brace, BMR Fabrication Springs - Red, Set of 4, 1.0" Drop, BMR Fabrication Sub-frame Connectors, BMR Fabrication Toe Rods, BMR Fabrication Trailing Arms, BMR Fabrication Rear Trailing Arm Bushing |
