With that much power your next step should be some bushings. Then trailing arms and toe links. If there is anything i can find for you let me know. BTW we are having a special on the toe links an trailing arms right now. I can also get you a good price on the bushings. Email me an we can discuss further.

I'm learning all this suspension stuff now too, but everything I've read and researched, next should be bushings.

yes i agree...bushing are the best..i need to know specifically which ones..i dont wanna go crazy...money is a concern...but i want to get a great ride with control...and i need to feel comfy...the camaro is already hard in nyc streets.

Subframe bushing and differential bushings for the rear, and radius rod bushings for the front.

Well, Pfadt has a complete replacement, but I was looking at BMR because they have an insert that goes around the OEM bushing. Firms it up enough to keep the rear planted. I haven't researched LSR or Pedders.

This. With the kind of power you are talking about you will need some sturdy components. My recommendation would be Pfadt solid sub frame mounts (inserts will not be enough for that much power and with bushings you will still feel movement), diff bushings (Pfadt's new bushings are doing a good job of limiting movement without transferring gear noise), and their new rear arm package (trailing arms and toe rods). That set up with substantially improve launch control, traction, and wheel hop and you will drop some weight.

If you have any questions feel free to shoot me a PM.

Chase, what's new with Pfadt's differential bushings?

Pfadt used to offer separate "race" and "street" bushings. Because so many people were experiencing increased gear noise with the "race" bushings, which is also common among all stiffer aftermarket diff bushings, Pfadt went back to the drawing board and put together a "hybrid" bushing set. The new "hybrid" set utilizes a hard rear bushing to resist torsional forces and slightly softer side bushings (still much stiffer than stock, but softer than the rear bushing) that do a better job of isolating the gear noise than full hard all around.

Well, at APEX we ship all Pfadt and BMR items for free in the lower 48 so that will help keep some of that jingle jangle in your pocket.

You could sell that Wankel machine to get some extra $$.

Suspension parts are cheaper than Apex seals and you typically only have to replace suspension parts once.
