Suspension Upgrades for my Camaro

Just received the last of my suspension upgrades today:

Prothane Subframe Bushing Inserts
Prothane Steering Rack Bushing
Prothane Front Radius Rod Inserts
Front Camber Bolts
Spohn Performance Toe Rod Ends

I already have installed: FE4 Front & Rear Struts, Hotchkis Sway Bars & Springs, Whiteline Sway Bar Links, Spohn Performance Front Chassis Brace, Spohn Performance Tunnel Driveshaft Brace, and Spohn Performance Trailing Arms. My question is: "Does anybody have a similar setup, and how is the performance of your Camaro after this setup with an aggressive alignment setup?

I got the subframe bushing inserts from Ebay. They came in the color red, and I painted them black.

Thanks for the order! Good setup you have going.

Was this done this way because those were the best prices for the items you were looking for? Instead of staying with all one maker... looks like you got a assortment of companies.. I was thinking the same. I mean 500 sway bars vs. 300 dollar sway bars!

My Hotchkis Sport Sway Bar set cost me $300 from Ebay.

I could have did the 1LE Suspension upgrade, but the FE4 Struts were cheaper than the FE6, and I wanted lowering springs instead of stock ride springs. All around I paid cheaper than the total amount for the 1LE Suspension Package. But if I add everything together minus the bushings. It would have came to the same amount as the 1LE Suspension Package, but I am happy with the results!
