So I am upgrading my 2010 SS Camaro suspension. I have already done solid sub-frame bushings, rear toe rod, Trailing arms, and have Eibach pro kit springs and sways. I have Afe coilovers being rebuilt right now so I will be using those and have GM LCAs with the wide sway mounting I bought those already. And have bought 4 new wheel bearings and have bought a new rear sway from hotckis. I also have Hendrix offset diff bushings I plan on installing cause I will be lowered 1.5 inches with the Afe coilover. So I will be dropping the rear cradle
So my question is what else should I be doing with the cradle dropped. upper UCA bushings? and with putting in the new LCAs do I need to get new bushings? and on the front I will be using the Eibach sway but will be taking everything apart for the coilovers and wheel bearings what bushings should I change up front car has 56k miles should I do end links. My new rear sway comes with them but what about the front? I just want to have everything I need when I tear into it and do it all at once. Thanks for any input

If you are going to drive it hard, you probably want to go with the bigger front sway links. The ends on mine came apart on one side when I put the Z28 suspension in, so you might end up needed them regardless.

Put a set of radius arm inserts in up front too. AmericanMuscle.com had them pretty cheap back in October.
