Rally Sport Suspension

[sac2165]

I've started looking at upgrades for my suspension, and I think I may already have some decent equipment. My camaro came with the "Rally Sport Suspension Package" which includes larger front and rear stabilizer bars.

Is it safe to assume these are the 1LE 32mm and 21mm parts?

Thanks...

No. The "Rally Sport Suspension Package" tells me you have a SLP car. The front is 32mm and the rear is 19mm per my information.

With stock V6 springs, the 32/19 combo SLP puts on the car is a better setup (both faster on the track and safer on the street) than the 32/21 combo, which GM only used for one year (93), on V8 springs. The 32/21s have too much oversteer. SLP engineers know what they're doing when they use the 19 instead of the 21 here.

If you go with stiffer front springs and stock rears, that 32/19 goes right out the window. I have the 32/21, WS6 front springs, a strut tower brace, stock rears, and Bilstein HDs, and I've got a decent bit of understeer. Just a heads up if you stiffen up the front end.

I agree with Guardsman. On 1LE front springs and stock V6 rears, 32/21 could work. The key is a balanced combination of springs and bars.

My current 32/21 setup currently has not shown any signs of oversteer - however it might be due to the current GA tires I am running. I don't believe the 32/19 setup is a faster setup than the 32/21 for roadrace conditions.

When I installed my swaybars they were done individually (front, then rear), and by far the most noticeable gain was changing out the rear bar. The front bar swap was such a mild change I wasn't even sure if I had done anything. [img]smile.gif[/img] Be happy you have a 19mm rear though, and not the dinky stock bar all V6s come with.

I know you didnt ask this but... a good start for you if you want to progress further suspension wise is shocks. I cannot stress enough how quickly the stock shocks wear and how soft they are in comparison to even V6 spring rates. [img]smile.gif[/img]
