130k miles, looking to bring my suspension back to life
My poor 2010 Camaro SS has seen 130k miles of hard daily driving in NYC.
One of my struts has completely blown out, and I figured it’s time to update what I can. So far I’ve order new struts and spring for all 4 corners, new sway bar stabilizers for the front and rear, the Eibach front and rear sway bar kit, BMR trailing arms, BMR outer trailing arm bushing kit, BMR toe rods, and a BMR rear upper control arm bushing kit. Is there any other thing I should have swapped out while I have her at the mechanic? Any and all comments, recommendations, and otherwise are appreciated!

You could do the FE4 conversion, but you would need a different rear bar, FE4 LCAs and end links. The factory 1LE bars are actually pretty good.

I'd throw in BMR cradle bushing inserts or the solid cradle bushings. The inserts are easy to do and I've been ok on mine for 2 years. I daily mine, it hasn't seen a track yet so I didn't go solid.

Yes, if you can return the parts already ordered, would recommend FE4 conversion.

Seems like you got it all covered pretty much. New tie rods inner and outer for the front are pretty cheap since you need a alignment anyway wouldn’t hurt to change those too.

oh ya, there is also a front radius arm insert sold by Pedders and others. The factory even used them on the Z28. They are pretty cheap and a great upgrade.
