German_Z28

Hi from Germany,

i´m just starting to modify my ´99 Z28 and like to achive a better handling.
I´ll get a strut tower brace first and start to think about what to do next.
I´ve got enough money to either get new sway bars or the subframe connectors.
(By the way, both would be from Hotchkis - as they are the only ones i´can get here in germany - anybody got experience with these ?).

What should i do first Sway or Subframe ???

Thanks

one wicked element

I would with the subframes, as you already have sway bars. One word of advise though, I would get the weld in ones. I've only heard bad things about the bolt ins, as they don't hold up to much.

I have Subframe connectors, and they did help - though my car has no swaybars...its a long story

I would suggest lower control arms as well and a panhard rod.
I wouldnt worry much about the strut tower brace.

I would (and did on my 1995) do it last.

Subs all the way! The camaro is a uni body car and should have these from the factory. It's the spawn of 90% of squeeks and tweaks. And yes get the weld in. The bolt in's will eventually wallow out the holes and render them near useless. A small notice in feeling but you will feel it.
