Full suspension Revamp
Hey Guys,
I have a 2011 Chevrolet Camaro SS where I can see the ride quality has detoriated and I wish to replace the worn out suspension parts. Are the following parts good enough or do I need to get any other parts? Front Struts and Strut Mounts Rear Shock and Shock Mounts Do I need to replace any other parts like insulators or springs etc? I will get a local shop to install them. |

That's a good start. One thing with higher mileage cars that makes them feel "old" are worn bushings.
If you really want to revamp to like new feel, replace them all with OEM or better. New shocks and mounts of course should go along with it.

You DEFINITELY want new donut isolators, mine were shot when I took my stuff apart.
If I were you, I would run the FE4 setup which is a slight upgrade from your stock setup.

Rubber should be fine on the joints, Id get new top mounts and shocks/springs for sure.
