Suspension time.
 

Started my suspension upgrades today... BMR tunnel brace, Upper and lower trailing arms, upper control arms and front chassis braces all when in today. Super easy to install.

ZL1/1LE sway bars go in tomorrow. And with any luck my BMR rear chassis brace will ship tomorrow.

Read the rest of the tread for install info.

Very nice congrats!!

Sweet, I'm looking forward to doing the same in the future. All BMR though, and ill probably skip the tunnel brace

No write up.. ?
Shame.

;)

Looking forward to hearing what you think of how the upgrades handle

I'll add something when I'm all done...

I will say that if people are planning on doing the upper trailing arm you might as well do the upper control arm at the same time. You have to take out the outer bolt of the control arm to get the trailing arm in, so one more bolt and the control arm is done as well.

To be honest, I think you'll be just fine without the tunnel brace.

Pictures of them in place?

I'll get some today.

Rear sway is out.

Jack car and install stands.
Remove both rear wheels.
Remove rear section of wheel well liners and fold them forward. #15 torx, 7mm socket.
Remove four 10 mm bolts from the mounting brackets. (Top two are a little difficult) Nuts are welded in so just remove bolts from the back.There is a wire harness mounted on the top left bolt but it preys of easily.
Disconnect the links with a 15 mm wrench on the bottom, and 15 mm wrench and 5 mm hex on top.
Remove the rear exhaust mounts (The bar slides through the gap that's left between the two posts). They slide off and the exhaust will not drop and doesn't need to.
Pull the bar aft then rotate the front side of the bar down and pull out from the side.
*Warning* The metal that the wheel well liner connects to is sharp. Use gloves or great care or you will get cut.

A little harder to remove with a wrench than a gopro camera but not too bad.

Upper control arm will require an alignment so best to do with sways and lowering springs if theyre in the plan.

Unless you mix up the trailing arms, which are just a tiny bit different in length........ask me how I know. HERE'S YOUR SIGN! :sm0:

Thanks for the instructional write-up.

I look forward to reading your impressions once it's all installed and aligned.

I can see how that can happen. When I first laid them out I thought I bought two of the same thing. Only around half a hole difference in length.
