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. |
Totally agree, the S550 and Alpha are two very different platforms. The video completely illustrates the difference in cradle movement. I also had Steeda subframe IRS bushings. Not sure how much that contributed to the rigidity too.
I'm still a bit apprehensive though. The Mustang experience was not good. As you mentioned in your previous build, I too had quite a bit invested in the car. I'm just really afraid to do anything that will yield negative results.
From a logical standpoint I can see that you're right. Still afraid though! LOL!
