First, yes, sadly Pfadt and Pedders are out of business.
Second, BMR's have a 70 durometer reading.
Prothane=88
Whiteline(who used to make Pedders)=95 and ,IMHO,is your best bet especially if you plan to do ANY autoX or HPDE events.
Opinion
If you plan on staying on the street, Drag Racing and Under 600 RWHP then by all mean go BMR.
Personally, I would choose the Prothane after that RWHP limit or if you what a more solid bushing.
/End Opinion
There is another thing folks need to think about when you choose your bushings and that is the metal sleeve the Camaro actually sits in. The piece that comes down from the Camaro is actually conical in shape and x inches long. In the stock bushing the sleeve it sits in is conical also to "marry" them together and it rests on a shelf inside that sleeve. The Prothane and Whiteline sleeves are similar in design. The BMR is a straight through cylinder sleeve.
|\\//|=Whiteline and Prothane ||\/||=BMR
I have been in cars that had the Pfadt solid style bushing and damn were they loud. I have a car with bushings that are 95 durometer Poly and they are not loud and do a damn fine job. I only mean to try and give you folks the facts as they stand today. My opinions just kinda leaked their way in there.

The drag strip is like sniffing glue, it's cheap, it's a decent buzz, it doesn't last long and they are all the same.
Road racing is like China White Heroin, the buzz is stronger, the high lasts for hours, it's extremely addictive and they are all different.
I can't wait for my next Track fix. DA HAWKS OWN DA CUP!!!!!
