Very informative article about 5th Gen Suspension - GM High Tech Performance Magazine

Here is a very informative article by GM High Tech Performance magazine about the 5th Gen Camaro's suspension, its deficiencies and what can be improved upon.

Interesting article. Not being a GMHTP subscriber, I hadn't seen it before. Has it shown up elsewhere, such as in Camaro Performers (which I do get by subscription)?

Brett - do you think that different rack bushings would improve the feel of initial turn-in for "moderate to fast corners"? Those appear to be the only lower front end bushings left alone.

While GMHTP and Camaro Performers are sister publications, they don't typically reprint the same articles.

Thanks Brett, I bookmarked the article, handy to remember all the part names.

One of the first items recommended in the article is a subframe connector. I'm puzzled that I haven't seen much mention of parts like that in other threads. Have I just missed that or do most people not bother with subframe connector parts?
