* Spent 6 years without driving manual
* Never drove a RWD car before
* Never drove a high torque V8 before
* Never drove a cramped car before
If there is a cheap suspension mod with a big increase in driveability, I cannot recommend enough Solid Cradle Bushings/Lockouts and Diff Bushing Lockout, really takes the Camaro to the next level as it removes squatting under hard acceleration and makes the rear end stable during cornering, have yet to do it in my 1LE and I can def feel the rear end jelly a little during cornering and it's driving me insane.

My last car was a 2018 Mustang GT base with an auto trans. I traded it in for the Camaro. I had BMR diff bushings and cradle lockout bushings installed. Also had RTR (Ready To Rock) lowering springs. Maybe it was the combination but I could feel every shift of the trans and generally HATED the way the car felt. I dunno maybe something wasn't installed correctly but don't feel like I've had a positive experience with poly style bushings. Everything was so tight and felt there was no play in the driveshaft. Guess I could have gone with a one piece driveshaft.
At this point, I'm absolutely skeptical when a company says there's no increase in NVH (Noise Vibration and Harshness.) I've also seen "an acceptable rate of NVH."
As previously mentioned, have the BMR front and rear cradle supports. That's why I was thinking a nice set of sway bars might really compliment my current setup.
