LG Motorsports Solid Camaro Gen5 Subframe mounts.

Tired of not being able to put the power down like you should in your new Camaro? Wheel hop still an issue? Nervous feeling under braking or through a fast corner? With LG Motorsports solid subframe mounts you can now completely remove any movement of the factory Camaro rear subframe cradle. This will give you a better feel for the car as the control arms, shocks, and springs will be doing their job rather than moving the cradle. Drag racers, road racers, and street cars will all benefit from this by giving you more forward bite on the car and a smoother more controlled launch. No more will the car feel nervous through the corners or under hard braking.

Our kit comes with both forward and rear mounts and precise aluminum sleeves to positively locate your cradle in the car.

Street car customers will still find this a good modification as the control arms and differential are still mounted in rubber to isolate this from road noise.

Installed, tested, and proven in our own World Challenge spec Camaro race car, shown here with our sway bar as well!

What material is the black part of the bushing?

Anthony @ LG Motorsports · 04-03-2014, 09:29 AM

High density Delrin. Lighter weight with some vibration resistance.

Do you have a link to pricing?

What would be an advantage of these over a solid bushing?

Delrin is essentially a solid bushing.

At this point it would only depend on which brand you prefer and/or which price point.

I know you can get the solid aluminum ADM bushings for $500, or you can go all the way up to the ultra-lightweight aluminum Detroit Performance bushings for over $700.

What's the life expectancy of the delrin portion? I'd be afraid over time since delrin is 'solid' but doesn't have the abrasion resistance of aluminum, and doesn't have the flexibility of poly, that there would eventually be a growing gap causing slop between the bushing and the subframe.
And also, what is the weight difference between these and aluminum?
Not trying to be negative here or come off like a know it all. I really am curious. Lol
I'm in the market for subframe bushes, since Pfadt left us... Really not enthused about $700 for lightweight Detroit speed.

Adm solid billet are $500. Best quality part for the money.

No issues at all. They have been tested in the race cars since 2010 now, and on a number of street cars over the last few years before we made them announced to the public.

With that being said, if the cradle is bolted down tight they are not going to move, and if it doesn't move then you are not going to have abrasion between the cradle and the frame. If this was in a rotating assembly I would agree with you to some degree that it would start to wear away.

We have used Delrin parts on a number of fixtures in the race cars over the years like steering rack mounts, engine mounts, cradle mounts, diff mounts.....and never had an issue with them just grinding away.
