Bushing upgrade
Im looking at upgrading the Radius rod bushing in my 1le with Pedders.
I track my car on the road course about 3-5 times a year but not sure which direction to go... the Stage 2 full bush or Stage 3 high durometer insert?

Full bushing. Address the problem, don't put a band-aid on it. Especially considering the cost differential is not that much.

Full bushing is always better than an insert, although a lot more work, lol!

Yeah, the more bushings you buy the more expensive it becomes over time. Now about the suspension...

Apex Paul that was funny.
If I was reading one of Pete's posts on another thread correctly I thought he was using the stock radius rod bushing with the stage 3 insert on the Pedders camaro. Maybe he is using the full bushing plus the the insert?

Insert provides more aggressive caster however the stock bush can still fail and is fluid filled. Personally I have no desire to have steering drastically change on a high speed turn so I did the full bush for longevity and safety.

hey Apex, all this talk of replacing a fluid filled bush with a solid bush to stiffen your rod has me wondering how the new ride will be.....

^HAHAHA too funny! I'm interested in this as well. I ordered a 14 1LE and I plan to track it next summer! I was wondering if stage 2 would be the best option or maybe the BMR radius rod bushings
