32mm Adjustable Rear Sway Bar - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Cuda7050 · 02-26-2014, 10:07 PM

Pete at Pedders recommended upgrading the rear sway bar on the 1LE to the ZL1 spec 32mm adjustable bar. I would like to get reviews from anyone that's added a stiffer rear sway bar on how well it worked at autocrosses and HPDE's? What hole setting seemed to work best for you? Did you experience too much oversteer?

Thanks for the reviews.

I wouldn't mind knowing the answer to that myself

Well I just ordered BMR's new 32mm bar for the rear today along with some bushings. I'll try and get info back to you guys asap. I'm trying to follow pete's advice on the 1LE handling without the availability of Pedders parts.

I am installing BMR's 32 mm bar this weekend. I found a set of Pedders radius arm bushings on Amazon and got a set of Whiteline cradle bushings on the way. I hope to get the alignment done next week so I might have feedback soon.

I plan on setting the bar up on the middle setting at first until I have a chance to test it out.

I had Pedders ZL-1 bars and just sold my Pfadt ZL-1 bars and bought the BMR new bars. Of all 3 I love the balance of the BMR bars the best but the Pedders rear 32mm FE4 bar is the stiffest.
