The Z/28 is running OE ZL1 or 1LE sub-frame bushings. Really?

All,

My frustrations with GM Performance Parts and the C5 community are running high. I think GMPP should be selling packages out of the production parts bin and that bin is deeper than it has ever been. The 1LE. ZL1 and Z/28 suspensions are packages designed for use with related parts. The 1LE bars will work with any square wheel and tire setup. The ZL1 bars will work with any staggered setup. The Z/28 bars will work with the Z/28 aero, springs, dampers and square tire package. Put Z/28 bars on a SS and they are a poor match.

1LE owners are installing staggered wheel and tire setups. Do the new 5th Gen Camaros come with an instruction manual?

We love 12kg coils on our road course cars. 12kg rear coils are a disaster on 500 RWHP drag Camaros.

If you run 315s in the rear buy a 28mm factory bar to run with your stock front bar. You can build a nice Camaro out of the GMPP parts bin, if you give it some thought.

Good thing I can immerse myself in work that I love

Cool! Can't wait to see it.

No doubt you have to have a suspension that's all in sync. Also one that's properly set up for your needs.

GM has been notoriously poor at "aftermarket" management. But one mans ignorance, oversight and stupidity can often times lead to another's success.

Sometimes that knocking sound you hear is NOT a con-rod...sometimes it's a VISA terminal...

Been years since I've had a Chicago deep dish pizza...just plain awesome. Fortunately the place is 10 minutes from my house and they deliver!

A great weekend back in The D. Saw a Tahoe and Suburban, a C7 Convertible plus a Cadillac ELR. Also on the way back a Kia Cadenza. Very cool lighting in the tail lamps. Nice looking car but too bad it's FWD.

The "hold" for ZL1 and 1LE production through early-February should be a broad hint as to the earliest date Z/28 production "may" commence...
