Suspension Upgraded - Still have wheelhop

I might as well do those before I bother with the alignment.

While i am at it I will turn my attention to the front of the car to finish my suspension upgrade. I will do my research this time to figure out how to improve steering response.

I know lighter tires and wheels will help but i don't want to spend that much right now.

And I also will be looking for a tunnel brace with additional clearance so I can get rid of those washers. Is a Camaro ever really finished?

FYI the ZL1 uses the same rubber bush in the hub / knuckle. Get the alignment done first and see where you are before adding any more parts.

Good results. Wheelhop gone. The car hooks much better. And the little bit of step-out is also gone. Straight as an arrow.

Yes! But first one more part. (I have an addiction.) Radius Rod inserts. Then alignment. Then track. Then start over with a 1LE maybe.

Yep, did a little more research and bought your outer TA bushings as well. Can't wait to get them installed and out to the 1/4 mile to test them out. Thanks for all the great advice.

No problem, if there is anything I/BMR can do for you let us know.
