Thanks again everyone

Thank you everyone for all the tips !! Couple of things I have decided to follow through with Along with the things I had mentioned on the OP .
1. 275-35-20 continental DWS 06 tires on rear
2. 245-40 -20 continental dws 06 tires on front
3 . Ordered A hotchkiss front strut tower brace . ( they have it on sale for like 158. ) on their eBay site . Can’t beat the price . 😁.

As far as tires go heard a lot of great things about the continentals . I had to take off the welds S-71 that I had on the rears . They were scraping against something maybe due to the H&R street performance coilovers.
Hopefully I have better results with control .

I know the continentals cannot compare to the MT ET STREET SS TIRES , but as long as they hook I’m good . .

Save up more $$$ if you can, everyone adds power then leaves scraps for suspension. Proper spring rate, dampening of coilovers with a good roll bar and junk the stamped steel LCA, trailing and toe links with a beefier units. Get units with HD heims or delrin bushings if you can. Cradle mounts detroit speed. Ride tech is $2k for rear suspension set up so out of price range but still great bang for buck. Coilovers.... well at the very least I would go KW V2 or V3 or Bilstien PSS10. You can hook like nobodies business when suspension is dialed in. If its road coarse your looking for or drag it all depends. Sorry I know you said $1k but....

Hi there

First off THANK YOU to all the esteemed forum members for all their valuable insight .

So I ordered the hotchkis strut tower brace with the hopes that it will improve handling even if it’s by 1% . Doesn’t hurt . My question is if anyone that has a PROCHARGER HAS THIS installed and if there were any issues with clearance in the engine bay . Any and all positive input is appreciated . I have read enough threads about why it’s a useless mod , but oh well !! I already have it and I want to move forward with hearing some insight On anyone that has a procharger and has this installed . !!

The Chassis Max Brace improved the handling on my car MUCH MORE than the strut tower brace... just an FYI. After installation, the car felt like a rock with pin-point, go-cart-like handling. Highly recommend you add this if you're looking for better control and handling.

What was the brand that you went with and did you have to do any mods to make it fit ?
Do you also remember the part #

I stayed with Hotchkis. One of the easiest bolt-on you'll install. No added parts or mods needed. Pricey, but worth it. Here's Phastek;


https://www.phastekperformance.com/2...race-20104.htm




fits all 2010-2015 Camaro models


Like most modern muscle cars, the new Camaro suffers from significant chassis flex and wheel hop. Under hard acceleration, the stock rear subframe moves quite a bit, reducing traction and stability. Installing a Hotchkis Sport Suspension Chassis Max Brace reduces chassis flex and improves traction during hard launches and high-speed cornering by triangulating the rear sub frame to the chassis frame rails. Manufactured from strong, lightweight elliptical aluminum tubing and mated to laser cut, CNC machined aluminum brackets, the system bolts on in minutes. The Chassis Max Brace has excellent ground clearance and fits with most aftermarket exhaust systems. Finished in durable anthracite powdercoated, the Chassis Max is a must have for any modern Camaro.

Features:

Strong lightweight elliptical aluminum tubing
Laser cut, CNC aluminum brackets
Excellent ground clearance
Direct bolt-on installation
Durable powder coated finish

Benefits:

Reduces sub-frame flex and wheel hop
Increases chassis rigidity
Improves handling and traction
Improves handling responsiveness
