Need some suspension help!
Need some suspension help!
I have a 95 Z (120,000m) pretty much stock except intake and catback! I have some serious body roll issues (sway mabe)! speed on to highways on ramps its builds up alot of roll feels pretty unsafe especially when it sways back after getting straight. Honestly my everyday driver an 86 camaro handles better then my 95. At 90 and above it likes to sway and just small steering jolts can cause some over swaying and I hate it. I do not have alot of money at the time so Im hoping to pinpoint the majority of the problem and get it fixed! New shocks is a must but is that going to solve alot of it? Thank you and this is my first thread iv posted but iv been doing lots of reading on others! Big help! Thank you
shocks are the biggest thing probably. the stock ones were barely enough for the car when they were brand new...let alone when worn out.
other thing would be new bushings and suspension parts like tie rods and the like.
but to keep body roll down, a good set of thicker sway bars is an amazing upgrade.
i couldn't beleive the difference when i put BMR 32/21mm bars on my stock suspended 96Z.

Biggest difference will be some better shocks and a front 32mm sway bar.
You will have a noticeable improvement.
If your on a budget pick up a 32mm from a F-Body junk yard...
Check out Sam Strano's sight with some budget performance shock packages.
Your looking at about 600 bucks in parts, a wheel alignment, and labor to have the shocks placed inside your springs for the fronts... I did this to my car but also added 275/40/17's and the handling improved tremendously.
Spend more and get the koni's and 35/22mm sway bar set up, plus some sticky/wider tires and it'll be sick.
I found the guys at UMI and Strano's very helpful.. i'd suggest giving them a call.
