What did you upgrade your suspension to? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

RupertPupkin · 05-24-2020, 02:07 PM

Looking at Koni shocks/struts to pair up with my BMR 1.4, or Megan/BC coil overs.

NO TRACK, NO ROAD COURSE. 100% street application.

Pfadt trailing arms, Pfadt toe links, Pfadt solid rear subframe bushings. JPSS 32mm rear sway bar. Stock everything else.

If I was going to upgrade more it would be the DSSV dampers and springs

Tha is. I’m just trusting to retain the stock feel. Harsh ride, is tolerable, but the rebound on the stock suspension with springs sucks. I guess I’m just trying to eliminate the huge rebound on a budget.

I put on the Bilstein B6, they really matched the BMR 1.25 very well and removed the harshness of just the springs on the stock struts.

DSE Trailing arm, toe rods, JPSS 32mm rear bar, PAFDT rear bushings, OEM front bar, shocks and struts. Future bilstien shocks and struts and DSA LCA’s maybe a DSE hollow 35mm rear bar for weight savings.

Nice. This is what I wanted to hear. Why didn’t you go with coil overs?

Mostly cost, I already had the lowering springs and found a great deal on the Bilsteins.

How much did you get them for? Just so I can gauge cost. I know they’re around 700$ +
