Budget friendly suspension ideas?

Camaro fans,

I'm about to lower my SS, I already have the SLP eibach springs(bday gift)and since I will have the car up in the air working on it, what else would y'all recommend I replace that is budget friendly? Car has 30k on it.

I've lowered many Wbodys when I had my grand prixs, and I did the normal stuff like bushings, trailing arms stuff like that.

Thanks,

Greg

Depends on what you consider "budget friendly"! What's your budget? I would recommend starting with a full set of sway bars, but if that is too much, just start off with some trailing arms and outer bushings.

Depends on what you consider budget friendly:

Under $100:
A set of take-off ZL1 toe rods can be found for under $100 in the classifieds.
Front radius Arm bushing inserts are $15 and help with steering response
Steering rack bushings are $30

Under $500 (each):
Sway bars (& endlinks)
Trailing arms (& outer bushing)
Aftermarket Toe rods
Rear upper control arm bushings
Full subframe bushings (poly or delrin)

I have a few different setups in mind that won't break the bank and you can piece them together and build into a complete package.

Feel free to call, PM or email me anytime and we can discuss your goals and budget and get you dialed in.

Best regards,

Tyler

Tyler and Keith are awesome folks and can help you get setup properly for sure.

I have a set of BMR Subframe bushing inserts for a 2010-2011 SS for sale that I never used.

I ended up going with full bushings instead.
