Front Z28 control arms

Hi Z28 owners. Any of you guys feel the need to upgrade your radius front arms like regular SS guys do?

No, why?

Hi O. I have the Pfadt solid bushings and am hoping the stock Z28 pieces are good enough since I can't replace the Pfadt bearings when they wear out. Just got the arms yesterday and will be installing them today.

So how did it work out?

Of course Pfadt solid Spherical bushings are stiffer and controls the car more under extreme braking but they produced too much front end stiffness that even while providing more front end stability also results in unwanted understeer. They also works better with lighter wheels even at 54lbs rim and tire max. The Z28 pieces makes the car more neutral compared to the Pfadt bushings, the car now turns in sharper and more so has the ability to get into corners easier ans faster .The gen 5 Camaro is literally one of the best, quickest and most enjoyable cornering cars I have ever driven. No exceptions. A reduced weight gen 5 will make any car even exotic sweat and crumble around most corners but still doesn't beat the 911 around rotaries. Imagine this car at even 3300 lbs.
