Exactly. GM is following Pedders advice from the 5th Gen Book. GM is doing exactly what Pedders has suggested in this thread and in so many others. They started with foundational stability in January of 2011 with revised sub-frame bushes. After improving the foundation they move to sway bars for the 2012.

I hate to keep beating the same poor horse, but the low hanging fruit on the 5th Gen Camaro is found in the foundational bushes. That means Pedders EP1200 Inserts, EP1201 Full Bushes or EP1201 HD Delrin for the Street. In the front we have the EP6578 direct replacement radius bush snubber that came out of GM's prototype development, the EP6579 that came from the same program and the EP6577 full bush which was produced specifically for the ONLY Camaro RACE CAR built in house at GM.

Following the radius and sub-frame bushes in order of importance would be the four toe-link bushes. There is a reason that Jay Leno's Twin Turbo Camaro delivered to Mr. Leno with Pedders sub-frame inserts and toe link bushes. They are the most critical for IRS stability. So if you want to go a bit further in the foundation use (2) packages of EP7323 bushes. These installed with sub-frame and radius bush upgrades prepare your 5th Gen for the next level which would be coils, coilovers or sway bars.
The order following the foundational upgrades is less clear. We have a preference for coil or coilovers over sway bars, but once the foundation is in place sway bars or coils or coilovers will work rather well.
