609RWHP Hooking Up - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

MTI Racing Kevin · 09-24-2010, 03:08 PM

How do you get 609rwhp to hook up on your 5th Gen Camaro, this was the same question Andy had. We decided to firm up the rear end of his Camaro with BMR Subframe connectors, BMR Differential bushings, BMR Tunnel Brace, Pfadt adjustable Tie rods, and Pfadt Trailing arms. With the addition of these parts we have minimized the deflection and reduced the weight of the suspension so it can react quicker to changing road conditions, this allows more of the tire to stay in contact with the road to reduce wheel hop. With the addition of the PFADT and BMR products the Camaro just feels like a sports car.

Andy's quote "I can’t tell you how much better the car hooks up and goes. “Driveability” is awesome, my car feels like a true sports car on the street with the BMR and Pfadt parts in combination with my MTI Racing Big Red Sway bars and MTI Racing lowering Springs. The traction before and after is like night and day."

Very nice! A set up like that will definitely get rid of all the factory slop and keep the rear end planted.

It works great. The best part is the customer was very happy with the setup.

Thanks for the props, Kevin!

No problem, the Tie Rods and Trailing Arms are awesome products.

The set up described above does wonders for the car. Truely drives like a race car now. I can stab the throttle at any point and the car launches like it was shot out of a cannon. The guys did a phenominal job, the car gets more amazing everytime I get it back. Thanks are in order to the guys at MTI, great job, thank you very much. I am thrilled with it. saving for the next round of mods. - Andy

Are these card sticks or autos? My auto doesn't seem to have all the issues the m6 does. Pretty bad ass parts though!

M6HuggerSS · 09-27-2010, 12:44 AM

sounds like the next step could be wider wheels and tires...

great to hear that those simple mods helped with 600+rwhp
