Nice. Those suspension components are really beefy. Let us know how you like the new handling properties.

So far just drove it from the shop to the house. If the weather holds one day this week I will drive it to work which is 40miles away with nice back twisty roads. I did try punching it and it felt more control. Before it would want to change Lanes on me. One test isn't enough to validate it yet, but I think I will be able to say it helped.

Curious about what the BMR would do for ride/handling.

In the ZL1 1LE, I expect a more punishing ride with a minimal difference in handling....someone prove me wrong.

The BMR arms are definitely beefier..

I like getting rid of rubber bushings

Actually I just realized, you went with the polyurethane bushings.

DRIVEN7 went with the rod ends.

Just a short update...Finally had 2 days since the install date that were not washouts. Wow! nice improvement over stock. I drive appx 40 miles to work and part of the way has nice twisty turns and the car handles like a dream. IMO, worth the install!!
