Sway bars and end links

[Chainsaw6]

So I was seriously considering BMR's Level 1 Performance Handling Package, but then I noticed that, since I have a 2012 SS, I need to buy end links for another $300. Is that the way each brand's sway bars are or is it just BMR that requires additional end links for 2012 camaros?

You might consider keeping your OEM end links. Mine have held stiff sway bars for 50,000+ miles with 100 autocross runs. No problems so far.

Most if not all of the aftermarket companies look to just be adapting there fe3 rear sway bar set ups on to fe4 2012's. So to run the current available aftermarket sways you would be turning the rear of your ss into the older fe3 set up. So just look for fe4 sways as companies develop them that should be more available soon I would think.

I do not think the true potential of anti-sway bars will be achieved using the skinny little endlinks that come stock on the Camaro!

I noticed that as well. Hopefully BMR will bring out a 2012 bar soon. I was hoping to get a full setup from them since I think they're fairly close to me and would like to do it all at once. I believe pedders or pfadt have fe4 specific bars out already.

Pedders has them out and pfadt is "coming soon". No idea on any of the others.

You missed the point that 2012's mount differently than prior years.

I think you are looking at the old style inboard mount bars. Is your 2012 FE4 SS has an outboard mounting rear sway bar. Switching to and old style inboard mount fails to take advantage of the new rear bar geometry that is key to the handling of the ZL1 and soon the 1LE. I think that Pedders is the only company that is shipping an upgraded rear FE4 / Z style rear bar as Synner has already mentioned.
