What direction to go? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

2010 SS

Have FE4 Upgrade along with BMR front/rear sway bars, LCAs, Detroit speed end links, and car is on air via Airlift 3P system.

Question is what do I do next? Figured BMR toe/trailing and maybe some bushings around? Sub frame connectors or tunnel brace?

Weekend mountain cruiser and occasional road track car.

Rear cradle bushings.

I know the answer will always be solid, but what about BMR poly ones?

I've had BMR cradle bushings and diff bushing for a week now and really love them. Huge improvement over stock.

I have had bmr poly cradle bushings for over three years. No noise, works great. No wear that I can tell.

Depends on if you are going to keep the car long term I think. I’ve had my car sine early 10 an I went solids because while polys are better than the voided rubber bushings but they still give an still cause some cradle movement. If keeping long term find a set of solid aluminum or Delrin they don’t cause any unwanted noise or vibration.

Bmr poly. Years and years running their products and time slips to prove their product along with daily street

Definitely cradle bushings. I just did them (Whiteline poly) and did z28 upper rear control arms while cradle was lowered. Big improvement. My plug for z28 UCAs.

TwentyTen2SSRS · 07-12-2020, 07:25 PM

Thanks all! I think there are some for sale in for sale as well. I’ll go with cradle bushings and look at z28 LCAs

Upper control arm rear bushings not LCAs big difference.

Here’s a couple

https://www.detroitspeed.com/2010-15...-camaro-041510

Can’t go wrong with any of them just depending on your wallet and brand loyalty, I have a older set of the PAFDT/AFE bushings and completely satisfied with them, the DSE kit actually are actually threaded, the Hendrix kit is the Pegasus design from years ago before they went out of business.

Thanks! Leaning towards the Hendrix at $399 special currently. But do like the idea of the Detroit Speed ones being threaded. But any added benefit there?
