Minimum Upgrades Required to Support 600rwhp?

What would the minimum suspension chassis upgrades need to be to support 600rwhp. Not doing auto x. Might do a couple for fun drag runs but not actually racing. Rest of the time with be daily driver.

I only have an upgraded differential and lowering springs.

As long as you don't stick I don't think you'll break much hehehe.

Here is a breakdown of what I would recommend for someone with 600hp.

Trailing arms (TCA026)
Toe rods (TR002)
Pro rear cradle busihing kit (BK030)

These three part numbers should take care of the wheel hop. Now if you also want to get into some handling stuff I would also look into these part numbers:

Sway bar kit (SB030)
Lowering springs (SP019, SP022, SP025)

With that much power under the hood your main concern is going to be keeping wheel hop under control. I would start by looking at a set of Trailing Arms, Toe Control rods and Solid Subframe Mounts. With those strategic additions to the car you will greatly reduce the amount of wheel hop, as well as the chances of breaking something while wheel hopping.

At the same time to make the car more fun, you could also add a set of sway bars and drop springs. Our drop springs will lower your car 1.25 inches for an aggressive stance, as well as add a little more spring rate which will be beneficial since you probably added a good amount of weight to the front end of the vehicle depending on how you actually got to 600hp.

The sway bars will make the biggest overall difference in the fun factor of your Camaro though. Sway bars are the best way to make your Camaro feel like it's dropped a couple hundred pounds of weight without actually removing anything. With these cars being as big and heavy as they are they do take really well to large increases in roll stiffness. A properly engineered set of sway bars will take your Camaro from significantly understeer prone, to a much more balanced state. They're not just great for racing, but for increasing the fun factor of the car every mile you drive it on the street.

You might want to take a look at our Stage3 package, it's got everything you're looking for. Check out some videos we took during development of our sway bar and drop spring package to see the difference that Pfadt parts can make:

Love the advice, I don't mind the stock handling since I am not racing or being a fool, I wouldn't know the different between good and bad.
