Yeah, I'll be buying the BK063 lock out kit and the upper and lower trailing arms.
What about the diff lockout, is there any additional advantage to installing it?

Come to Pennsylvania, where our potholes and shit road maintenance will bend your forged wheels, pop your $400 tires, and compress your vertebrae like no one's business.

I did about 10 hours of driving through Pennsylvania earlier this year visiting a few places on my way to Watkins Glen and then heading to PittRace after. I also drove through Pennsylvania for about 4 hours on different roads back in 2021 (before I had the BMR Rear lockout). Thankfully my wheels, tires and spine survived unscathed both times!

There were a few places in the Chicago area where the roads were terrible. I was pleasantly surprised to make it through there without any wheel/tire damage!

This right here is the most likely culprit. Super wide, super grippy rear tires under hard acceleration can get very wiggly when the toe is out. And make sure your alignment shop knows what they are doing. I used to take my cars to the local XX cheap national tire discount retailer. With the Camaro, they never got the alignment right. My local Chevy dealer, and now my race shop are the only ones who could nail the alignment. What is "in spec" and "tight tolerances" for most cars will make your Camaro wiggly.

There are actually good roads to be had in rural PA, once you get near Philadelphia and it's surrounding counties it's a different story.

They made touring/sport like they did to increase drivability and make it put down power faster, say for going from 1st to 4th with skip shift. It's also easier on the foot obviously by not having to push so far.

I drive exclusively in Track because of this. That way when I get to the Ax/track I have the same throttle response I get driving the car daily.

I would recommend doing it at a dealer that knows to replace the one-time-use alignment bolts. Or buy the bolts and make sure your alignment shop replaces them. Had my car aligned three times before I figured out why it kept going out of spec.

If you ever get hptuners you can copy the sport(track) pedal map to normal(tour&sport) so they’re all the same

My car toe was out on one side in the rear. Made the whole car suck until I got it fixed.

Very good to know, thanks!
