Dude, Learn how to drive. You saying that makes me soo mad. Loose is fast. But 32/19 is the combo you should have had. V6 camaros are tail happy from the factory with the 13mm difference in bars, any more differance and they would be more tail happy.

Yes , they are very tail happy even with a good suspension , mine will spin out but recover alot quicker with the upgraded suspension. Just comes down to , you should know your car and how it responds. I will take mine on a open road or a empty parking lot alone and test how far I can push it, everytime I change a suspension mod. But hands down the ST 35mm front a 21mm rear was the tighest my car had ever felt with Eibach lowering springs and other suspension mods. It felt like I could take a corner at any speed. LOL I still have the 1Le 21mm rear and when my new bushings go out, I just replaced last year get some time on them I might swap to a 19mm, but the 315/35/17 rears are not sliding too much. Sumuitos suck in the heat. My G-force 275/40/17 hold alot better than Sumuitos, will try Toyo Proxies this next time.

NO! Your :bs: makes me mad!

You need to learn something about suspensions.

Bars MUST be matched to the spring rates. This is NOT a good match on V6 springs (which is the discussion). No more than 17mm.

Re: z28 swaybar ok to use ?

Dude tail happy happens when the rear is stiff over the front in any anything, in the shocks, in the springs and in the bars. When the back is stiffer is gives more stability to the front, making the back slide.

I'm not "dude", and as the Tech Admin of this site and 58-year old mech engineer, I'm not going to put up with the BS from a 20-year old kid with 78 posts much longer. Don't like it - tough.

Re: z28 swaybar ok to use ?

Where is these posts coming from Robert( Dude , LOL I couldn't imagine someone calling you dude Robert , sorry , haha, LOL), I don't see them in the thread? Is he trying to say that you can't make the rear end not slide? I know if you have the proper sways, springs, shocks , LCA's, panhard rod, TQ arm, STB , SFC, front weight and rear weight and esp. Tires you can make the F-body plant the rear off the line and also hold corners like a bat out of hell like I said in my previous posts, but it takes sizing up the suspension to where each suspension part is designed to go with each other, trial and error. This is where when people have done the diffferent suspension upgrades and know what works with what. Just like GM did with their 1LE's and their different sways and springs rates from different years. Can you imagine being a test driver on the tracks testing the 1LE F-bodies back then or even reg. F-bodies through the years? That would be a dream job.
