BMR cradle lockouts reviews
I'd like to hear from your own experience how these have helped your Camaro? My Mustang has them & I believe they stiffen the chassis well.

Much better controlled back end and zero impact on NVH- in fact I kinda forgot I had put it on until one early morning drive (still dark out) and I took a tight left, uphill, slightly off camber turn and noticed the traction control nannies flashed for a moment.
Then realized why... doing 98 in a corner marked for 40 MPH.

Locking down the rear-end is the best thing you can do for these 6th gen Camaros.
It is a stellar chassis, it is the only weakness to them. It's too bad GM didn't do this across the entire line, not just the ZL1 1LE.

What TRZ06 said... GM had to save money somewhere I guess. Installing rear subframe lockouts and braces made a huge difference for me. I upgraded to poly bushings on a few previous cars and always had a noticeable NVH impact... the lockout didn't have any of those side effects. I definitely recommend it.
Although I have to say if you're planning on upgrading your rear control arms as well, I would go with the poly bushing models for the trailing arms... for a street car. I had a full set of spherical joint control arms at the rear, and that added some harshness... I swapped the trailing arms for ones with poly bushings and the car rides better now. I still have the fully-adjustable spherical joint upper control arms and toe rods, with stock lower control arms. The rear end is extremely planted - the car just squats a bit and goes without any of the extra movement I had with the stock setup.
