Cradle bushings. You can get by with just some inserts if you only have basic bolt on stuff.
From there, coilovers, rear end bushings, upper control arm bushings, trailing arm, toe rods.

My advice is to start off with a good set of adjustable sway bars that will give you the ability to change settings in the future. After that, Trailing Arms and outer T/A bushings, toe rods, and then subframe bushings. As "caverman" said, if you are only planning on staying with basic bolt-ons and street driving, inserts would work fine. But if you ever plan on taking it to the track or getting into harder launches, the full bushings make a big difference. Call Kyle at the shop, and he can help you decide on the best parts for your situation.

Bushings:
Solid rear cradle - Pfadt or ADM Performance. Makes the rear end become solid withthe rest of the car. Really plants the rear wheels. Radius Arm inserts - Improves steering response. Whiteline or Prothane have the best Steering rack - Improves steering response. Whiteline or Prothane Toe rods & trailing arms - I prefer the Pfadt. With the rear sways: go with the ZL1 spec, but with your 2010 you'll need to upgrade the lower control arms so they will fit. Also upgrade the sway bar endlinks. Once again, Pfadt. This all sounds like a track setup, because it is. However, this is exactly what I am working on putting underneath my daily driver.

After Sways and springs/coilovers, the Subframe bushings, upper control arm bushings, Toe rods and trailing arms are the next biggest bang for the buck. The Prothane radius inserts are a good cheap mod as well.
Let me know if I can answer any questions. Best regards, Tyler 888-308-6007 |
