EP1200 Zeta II Rear Extreme Sub-Frame Connector Kit $248.43 for vehicles under say 450HP at the rear
EP1201 CAMARO TOTAL REAR SUB FRAME BUSHING REPLACEMENT $449.03 For vehicles over 450hp or vehicles with drag radials
Rear Differential Mount bushings
EP1167 Zeta Rear Differential Bush Kit $108.36 For vehicles with under 450hp at rear
EP1167HD REAR ZETA HD DIFFERENTIAL BUSHING KIT $138.36 For vehicles with over 450hp at the rear or Drag radials
This would be the first step I would do.
Here is our 1st level Drag Package. Also includes are extended alignment kits front and rear.:

I am "hopefully" planning on getting the EP1201's and adding the EP1167HD. I have been reading about the trailing arms - do you think I should add these? Are the trailing arms worth it??
