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.

Well, you gotta remember the Camaro has a much better chassis than the Mustang, way more stiff so those bushings made it stiffer than you were used to, since Alpha chassis is already GOOD stiff, the solid bushings/lockout will be an improvement as those bushings move too much, specially laterally, but a picture is worth a thousand words, and a video is just a thousand pictures is sequence
Notice how much the bushing flexes, that's lost power and traction, the BMR lockout has a little bit of give to still retain comfort while removed the excessive give, this is what I had and I'm still undecided between the BMR lockout or the Chevy ZL1 1LE kit, and no, BMR is not paying me for any of this, it's just that this is such a good improvement for Camaros that everyone should have it, you will never look back.
