Aluminum subframe bushings
 and if you decide to do those, add Z/28 upper control arms bushings while you're at it

JusticePete would be an excellent resource -- depending on what you intend to do with the car (track it or not). I've spoken with Pete several times and I really value his opinion. You were at the mileage to replace the Struts and Shocks for sure.
I agree with the solid subframe bushings -- I have them and I'm glad I did those. I'd also flush the brake fluid at that mileage -- it you track it or not, go with a dot 4 fluid. I had Motul 600, and recently flushed again after 2 years with Castrol SRF -- more expensive, but for tracking a car, nothing better. If you do go dot 4, get one of these: GM part number 924578250 Dot 4 cap Then get this as the seal in this cap is a bit thin: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 -Don

Plus one on the UCAs there a bit of a job but along with cradle bushings and the Z bushings it improves acceleration. The rubber cradle bushing have to fill the voids as your accelerate causing a ever so slight delay.

Pete will probably reply after the Camaro Fest. All the vendors are there now and are busy and drinking.

I have done everything Tunamanz is doing, except I went with BMR -1.25's.
Are you doing the work yourself? If so, you might as well do these last three things, just makes the 1le a Z28-lite. JPSS Caster Locks and Z28 RUCA bushings- You will have most of the suspension loosened/removed and getting an alignment anyways. Extra $230? JPSS Rear Sway Bar- Makes the car rotate so much better; turn, punch it and hold on because it is going where you point it. Just makes the car gently slide around the corner. If money is an issue, do the first two and the rear sway down the road. You might also want to sell your 1le struts for and flip that money into buying the B6's. That way they will only cost you $400 or so??? That is what I did. Take some time and plan it out and do it once the right way. |
