BMR suspension mods done
Finally got most of the suspension mods I wanted to install and ready to get a little seat time. Installed BMR trailing arms & adjustable toe rods, BMR front and rear sways, as well as the BMR 1" lowering springs. Upgraded some rear bushings but havent jumped off into a full cradle bushing swap (yet). I do have the Peddlers agressive street alighnment setup in the car now. Obtw, the elongation of the front subframe mounts was a PITA and took the most time (and blood). LOL
And looking to make a drive up to Valdosta for the "pony wars" and run the strip and autox event and have some fun with the SS in a few weeks. Any C5 guys going to run the autoX ? I could use some pointers on air pressure and sway bar setups that can be done onsite as I plan on driving up there. PM me.

Congrats on the upgrade! Nice touch painting the stock endlinks. How are you liking the setup so far?

Those new parts are just a little bit beefier than what they are replacing.

Tyler- I havent had the chance to test the handling limits yet but the general feel of "spirited" runs on some of a few curvy backroads and a few adandoned parking lot manuevers and I can tell a noticable difference. Havent been back to the 1/8 mile strip yet to see how it launches on a prepped track but the rear end feels a little better planted and I havent noticed that walking around feeling when I hard plant the throttle in a turn. I hope to see how it feels in Valdosta in the autoX where I can actually see my timed runs. Only 8k on the original Pzeros so I will see how they do.

Thanks. But nothing was in a package, I just picked out the parts to suit my intended driving style and went from there. I wanted to go a little lower in ride height but decided I would rather enjoy driving it more if I didnt. It seems to ride almost as good as the factory springs, I think it may have lost a little weight transfer to the rear from a dig but maybe its just my perception, only another track day will tell. Obtw, most everything I ordered for this Camaro was either from Chase or Tyler. Both great guys to deal with. FYI- Even if you dont see it in their website catalog, it doesnt mean they dont sell it. Call them.
