We are definitely moving forward with the sway bar project. Again I don't have an estimated ship date available, but production is getting closer. We did some test fitting on our ZR1 yesterday afternoon to verify that it will work on all 10+ Camaro's.

It's getting closer!

How close was it to the ZL1 20x11 rear inner hub? The tire/wheels look flush to the fender, similar to the 20x11.5 CCWs.

Again it's going to be encredibly difficult to say whether it will clear or not until we get a final production piece in place. We will know soon enough. Even then the offset and backspacing of the CCW's isn't going to be exactly the same as the ZL1 wheels, so it's still going to be close with that huge wheel.

Looking at our production schedule I don't think that should be too big a problem!

Prototype Camaro Fronts that we are now currently testing in conjunction with the new Camaro Rears. We still have a ways to go before actual production sets will be available and the won't look exactly like this... but you guys might be interested to see how it's coming along!



Any updates on these?

The drag strip is like sniffing glue, it's cheap, it's a decent buzz, it doesn't last long and they are all the same.
Road racing is like China White Heroin, the buzz is stronger, the high lasts for hours, it's extremely addictive and they are all different.
I can't wait for my next

Coilovers are progressing and we are getting very close.

FE4/FE5 specific sway bars are days away from release. More info soon to come.

Likely not. We have yet to actually bolt up these bars to a V6 with the factory rear brakes, but given the CAD data we have it's too close for comfort. Infact even plugging the factory FE4 bars into the models shows that as the brake pads wear you're going to run into clearance issues with the V6 sliding calipers as well.

The answer for V6 customers is that it will require moving to the V8 Brembos to allow adequate clearance. In the mean time we do have both our Sport and Race sway bar packages available for the inboard mounting points which will still work great for the V6!

I hadn't thought of brake pad wear slidding the caliper inboard ill have to watch for that with my zl1 rear bar I plan to be swapped to brembos long before the v6 brakes even think about getting thin
