BMR suspension upgrade. RDPStore.com is a great place to buy.

Great car, had on myself. Just curious here, why switch out the sway bars?

BMR is a worthy upgrade route. Another alternative is using the heavier duty GM ZL1 front and rear stabilizer bars with associated links, bushing etc. Others on this forum had good experience going that route (and many have equally good experience with BMR bars too--depends upon what goals are).

I wanted better handling while maintaining a semblance of decent ride offered by my 2SS's Magnetic Ride Control. My larger plan was to upgrade the SS bars to the ZL1 bars then go with Eibach lowering springs and adjust alignment to FE4/FEA parameters to allow more aggressive cornering (standard SS alignment spec is FE3 and FE4/FEA is more ZL1-1LE track oriented but not full track). If interested, you can find alignment spec info is covered in thread https://www.camaro6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=504284

With the ZL1 sway bar setup I experienced noticeable increase in cornering ability without having it ride like a truck.

Just to clear that I am not biased --ALL my rear suspension pieces are BMR (except sway bars)--- control arms, trailing arms, toe rods, rear rear cradle bushings, plus tunnel brace and driveshaft safety loop.

I used GM Parts Direct as source. Their staff had the expertise to get all the components needed--it is not just the bars--it is all stuff that goes with them (brackets, links, bolts, nuts, spacers). Great discounts; saved at least 33-50% off list prices. Cost was around $360 for before shipping for the entire package (shipping was reasonable at $30 given weight). GMPartsDirect customer service is excellent (but BMR people are stellar too having given them a lot of business). https://www.gmpartsdirect.com/
