Do you use with the stock front bar, or do you also use the Hotchkiss front bar?

Do you use the BMR bar with the stick front bar, or are you using the front Hothhkis bar, that was recommended in one of the previous posts?

I have BMR front and rear adjustable bars. Have a big thread on front bushing issues https://www.camaro6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=576751
I like the bars and the way my car handles with middle front setting and full stiff rear setting. I suggested only the rear bar for you to get more oversteer that you are asking for.

Agreed, I just got the rear bar, I like the way the front bites with stock bar
Thanks for suggestion

The track alignment will do wonders for turn in. I ran 20K miles on the street and the alignment was around -2.0 front the whole time. I had a set of all seasons for DD duty but they were in fantastic shape afterwards.

I took yours and other peoples advice and did the track alignment, made a big difference. It almost dialed out all of the understeer

Thanks for the advice

I actually got it done in Florida, Fort Lauderdale, they did a great job
Was only $100

I take my car to Florida, for the winter, I do track days, there, then bring car back up north, for spring and fall events

I took car to PBIR, it was a big improvement , over stock.
In fact I purchased a BMR rear adjustable sway bar, befor I did alignment,I do not think I even need to install it, car is so good

The other thing I've noticed: I've since gone with 10mm wider tires than stock up front, seemed to make a noticeable difference in over/understeer, people watching from the sidelines told me "I've never seen a Camaro over-steer before!". They are likely not knowledgeable on the 1LE, but it was fun to hear.
