I was planning on making it out that event until I had my dropped valve incident at Dominion 10 days before :( so I ended up letting Mike use my stock wheels/tires since all he had other wise were some R888s (though it sounds like he would have gotten away with using those lol). Larry I would love to see video of your lap if you have it!!
I'm planning on going to the CMP event next month, hopefully they put a bit more effort into enforcing the classing down there haha

Any updates from the OP or anyone else changing to the DSSV's? Also anyone with experience with the two suspensions on a particularly rough track? I remember reading that the dssv's were valved and really shine on higher speed rough tracks due to them being developed in part for the ring and that's basically where a majority of the development comes from. Additionally I have seen several higher level drivers comment that the dssv's really keep the car a lot more planted when hitting curbing at higher speeds where a lot of other cars get upset. makes me think the faster and harder your pushing in less than ideal surfaces is where you would really see the improvements over the magride.

From an outside perspective I feel like Pitt would be the least likely track for you to see much difference on since both the surface is nice and the speeds are fairly low. It would be cool to see how you feel about the suspension if you ran on something larger with a less than perfect surface.

Dude, his results were negligible with the entire suspension and you are asking what they would be with less than that????? Actually the kit you listed is the DSSVs, but my first sentence stands for this kit 16-20+ CAMARO ZL1 1LE SPEC HANDLING KIT - CHEVROLET PERFORMANCE SKU: 84352119

I think I finished it with hand wrenches to avoid overtightening, but my bushings seated just fine in the cradle. Not sure what happened in your case, but I don't think it's fair to blame the method. Any method you choose you have to make sure the bushings are straight in the cradle and get seated properly.

The bushings are to tall for the cradle pocket. See how your bushing is here. The top is not fully seated. The top has to be fully seated. The bushings touch each other befor both are fully seated. The way you did it the the 1st one to fully seat is the one that will be fully seated leaving the other out like in your pic. Sometimes it will be the top sometimes it will be the bottom. The top bushing is what determines if the cradle will be straight or cocked. When installing these bushings just as the manual says you have to install the top bushing 1st and make sure it is fully seated. Then you install the bottom and when the bottom bushing hits the top bushing the bottom bushing will still be sticking out. In this pic the 2 bushings are touching each other and neither can go farther into the pocket. Just as mine are now. The only way to correct this would be for me to tap the drain holes on the bottom bushing and use a slide hammer to pull the bottom bushing out enough to put something in between the bottom bushing and the cradle then tighten the bolt bringing the top bushing down. Your way would work it GM had made these right and not put that nub inside so the the bushing touched. That nub does nothing but make these bushings to tall for the cradle bushing pocket.

I see what you're saying, but I'm not convinced there's a real problem here. If there is a fraction of a gap on either side, what prevents the possibility of the cradle shifting a fraction up or down later?
If you want the gap on the bottom, maybe use a block and hammer to pound the top down, pushing the lower bushing down a little. Better yet, maybe just leave the gap at the top on all of the bushings. Honestly through, I can appreciate your pursuit for perfection, but I think you're chasing a non-issue here.

maybe but for the next person installing these. they have to get the top seated 1st to be installed correctly.
