I have BMR -1.25 springs with Bilstein B6's and all the rear Z28 suspension pieces on my 1le. I run the JPSS rear bar with the 1le front. This set up found the weakness with the stock limited slip diff. I have since added the Z28 diff and it helped a lot. It still oversteers/rotates but at least the power gets to the ground better, must be why they put it in the Z28. ; )

Same set up except no B6’s or Z28 rear knuckles rolls like a slot car.

Nice to know. Confirms my findings, especially on the lousy grip old parking lot we have to use. I could get away with the 27/32 bar combo with the stiffer 450 lb front/560 rear springs with Pedders suppercars, but drop the fronts to 300/rear 550 combo I have now, similar front to rear ratio as stock or drop springs, and to much oversteer and loss if rear grip with a 32 rear bar. I know my z38 friends sure like the z28 diff. And it seems to work even better with a bar smaller then a 32. They use a 28 mm rear bar like 1/le

The only thing left to do in the back is the solid cradle bushings. Hope to have those installed by March.
