I'm interested to see what the racing crowd feels about the setup.

Speaking with some of the GM engineers that are involved with autocrossing the Camaros, the front bar seems to be the one to target and up size on a stock sprung car on RE71R tires.

Link says that both Hellwig bars are 3-position adjustable. You can also see this very clearly if you click on the link's picture enough times to make it full-screen.

3 position is exactly what I suspected since Hellwig made the bars that I'm running on my car. No reason to suspect they'd short-change you guys.

Close-up of Hellwig's picture. Too lazy to crop out the little piece of rear bar showing at the bottom.

If you are going to be autocrossing and can only do a front bar, I'd advise the Strano bar. The front bar from the Hellwig kit, if run alone, is too large. It is really intended to be paired with the rear bar that comes with the kit.

The Strano bar is smaller (same O.D., but less wall thickness), and intended to be run with the stock rear bar in F-Street trim. Run it on soft.

We will be making an announcement later today. May want to wait before pulling the trigger on either of those just yet

I still have my old BMR bars from my 5th gen I haven't been able to sell. I guess I need to get rid of those first...awesome bars!
Btw, is the shape of the SS bars the same as the LT V6?

That's the one on my list. His seemed to kind of sneak out. Only recently heard about it. His bars are typically made by Hellwig. Good to know about the wall thickness on the Hellwig! Curious on BMR's specs...

Mountain · 08-18-2016, 03:41 PM

Looks like BMR's front is 1.25"x0.188" like Strano's front bar. AFE has some out too, but the front is 1.38". What is the wall thickness on the Hellwig?
