I got Eibach lower springs, BMR lower control arms and non-adjustable toe rods. Will these be enough to get a good grip?

Thanks,

Go out and find out. The more power your putting down the more suspension mods you will need to stay planted. Based on your mods, I would say you have enough to keep you planted.

Not to mention that I will have my cam installed next week..!!

How about sway bars? Made a big difference to mine. Or, are you just looking for drag racing grip?

+1 Sway bars make a night and day difference.

Depending on what you are doing those parts should work well for you, like everyone else suggested I would take a look at our BMR sway bars they will help out immensely with body roll and overall handling. If there is anything I can do for you let me know.

Thank you guys, I am concern about drag race only but if sway bars will help I might consider it.

How about differential pushings? Will it add any value to my setup?

Thanks,

Thanks,

Are you building a G-Machine?

Chassis bracing. All the suspension parts in the world will still be subject to a stiff or flexible chassis; gotta get the chassis working 1st.

Which kind of grip are you looking for? straight line or twistys?

Hey ProudLS!

As some people have already mentioned the best judge of that will be you! My suggestion is to go out and drive the hell out of it and see what you think!

And as 2quick asked, are you ONLY concerned about drag racing? Or are you interested in drag racing but on the street you want it to take the twists nice and flat? Just curious.

There are a couple ways you can go about it. As a couple have mentioned, sway bars are the biggest "bank for the buck" modification, especially coupled with lowering springs, which you already have. Sway bars are going to give your Camaro a brand new planted balance, no matter where you are driving. The car will roll less in turns and add a ton of overall grip. Video below shows you the kind of improvements you can expect.

For drag racing especially, we have found that our rear trailing arms and bushings, paired with our solid subframe mounts are just a killer set up that gets the power to the ground. In addition the poly differential mounts are just another key part to the equation. Below is a before and after video for those parts. It really is a night/day difference.

So really, it comes down to budget, and your goals with the car. Let us know your thoughts on those things and maybe we can make more specific suggestions.

Gotcha. Well in that case, if you determined you are looking for more grip in a straight line, my recommendation of Rear Trailing Arms and bushings, coupled with the Solid Rear Subframe Mounts, still stands. These are the go-to parts that eliminate any wheel hop that customers may have been experiencing. These parts are included in our Drag Racing Stage 1 kit, along with the Poly Differential Mounts, our Engine Mounts, Rear Toe Link bushings and braces, and our Rear Balance Bar. The Rear Balance Bar is engineered to work with the OEM from sway bar to give a balance that is more suited towards performance, as well as adding a ton of roll-resistnace while launching for drag racing. We have found this package to work extremely well for street/strip applications like what you are looking for.

Give me a call with any questions you have if you find out you want to grip some more. Like I have outlined, there are a ton of options out there and it is just a matter of what makes sense for your specific goals. Thanks for your time.
