60 ft. times - Suspension Recommendations

In man's eternal search for improved 60 ft. times, BMR has made the following suggestions:

BK063 Bushing Kit, Rear Cradle, Lockout
BK060 Bushing Kit, Differential Lockout, Aluminum
UTCA063 Upper Control Arms, On-car Adjustable, Rod Ends
UTCA060 Upper Trailing Arm, On-car Adjustable, Rod Ends
TCA061 Lower Trailing Arms, On-car Adjustable, Rod Ends

BMR should know this topic well.

What do you think?

It depends on your HP IMO, I would go with the BMR Suspension BK063 Rear Cradle Lockout it’s definitely stiffer ride but it plants your rear end and gets rid of wheel hop. Not sure about the other stuff never tried them.

Almost 900 hp. I've seen a lot of positive comments on BK063 from guys who have installed it, and that's a really good endorsement, along with BMR's recommendation of course.

Umm, ZLE already has aluminum cradle bushings from the factory.

Have you raced the car with the unlocked and now tuned trans yet? Because obviously the short times with a locked trans on a ZL1 are disappointing, this is well documented.

I thought GM discontinued this option.

OP's car is a ZLE, which means that it was BUILT with the solid cradle bushings at the factory. No need for him to buy them from the parts department.

Much appreciated for you pointing this out twice to me. I was referring to the discontinue thread on my last message that’s all.

I think that list is a great starting point and should get the job done.
