Diff bushings - BMR "pro" vs offset - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I will be lowering my Camaro with the BMR 1.25 kit. I recently purchased BMR pro diff bushings but I have a lot of people recommending offset bushings instead. Would I be fine to run the pro bushings? Also swapping out the toe rods and trailing arms for BMR stuff as well if that matters.

If by 'offset' you mean the differential set... well, that all depends on what you're trying to do.

I went with the Pro set for the twisties... 'To enhance stability...' Worked for me.

Here are the complete sets for our rides... from the BMR website:

The offset bushings help with correcting the angle of the axles. They can be made of either poly or delrin. Correcting the angle helps against breaking axles, wheel hop, and prolongs cv joint life. There's not anything wrong with the bushings from BMR, just that their not offered in offset. Their suspension goodies is good stuff.

Offset is better for your axles when lowered to correct the angle especially if you launch it hard or drag race at all. Not as big a deal if you drive your car easy IMO.

I have the offsets from Hendrix in poly. Highly recommend them.

Don't plan on really dragging the car that much, but do rolling pulls often I guess. Already bought the BMR, just wondering if those would be fine for me or if I should sell them and get the offset from Hendrix

You should get the offsets. It would be optimal and easier to do the job once. But it could be ok without them. They are expensive. If you have engine mods i would definitely go with offsets
