Sway bars? I've already done BMR endlinks, BMR springs, all the BMR arms in the rear, BMR cradle lockout, front ZLE control arms (2 pairs that were replaced: 1 pair was ZLE specific, the other pair were shared among ZLE/ZL1/1LE. I'm thinking I'll do a front Hotchkis and rear BMR bar when I do the wheels and tires.

Your handling is going to be a mess.


Out of the box, the 6th Gen is one of the finest handling cars in the world.


While there are certainly some parts that could use a little help (rear cradle for sure), I always advise against wholesale changes until you learn the car and decide what you need it to do.


With those suspension mods you have no choice but to run CAM or ESP. Any Street class is out.


There is no need for camber plates. You can get -2.5 up front pretty easily. If for some reason (due to your suspension changes) you can't then I would investigate plates.


I run 305 square for AutoX, but the front/rear offsets are different. So I would investigate what wheels you are looking to use. For AutoX, 3-5mm spacer would be fine. Apex sells a 6th Gen set that lets you use the same 11" wheel so you can rotate.



I'd also recommend the 660s. They are a forgiving tire if you tend to overdrive and have tremendous grip.
