I'm shooting for middle Feb (17-18th).. It's going in this weekend for the oil issue and depending on what's truly wrong, that date may change.. You are still first up on the list for the agreed upon parts.
No. The swaybars have their own bushings that hold them to the retaining clips. The endlinks (not arrived yet) connect the bars to the various parts of the suspension.
These parts are as follows:
Front of Car
EP6579 Radius Rod Bushings - Stage 3 - Inserts
EP2112 Steering - Rack & Pinion Mount
Rear of Car
EP1167 HD Differential Mounts - Stage 2
EP7264 Lower Control Arm Inner
EP7322 Upper Control Arm Rearward
EP7323 Rear Control Arm/Toe Link
Camaro Rear Lower Control Arm Link Brackets (reinforcement for the stock rear endlink mount point on the LCA that, under extra stress, can pull through)
Some of the parts may be a little bit of an overkill and will most certainly raise the NVH inside the cabin some, but at my power levels with a manual trans, I need a lot of it to keep things more planted.. Other things in that kit are "well, while you're in there" parts that do help, are good to have, but make the most sense when done as a group. Though, if I can make a recommendation.. The IRS (Subframe) connection points are generally the most flexible and the consensus is those should be upgraded first since they hold the whole cradle to the car. You can do bars, trailing arms, toes, etc. and you can see improvements, but if the IRS mounts are still jumping all over the place, your improvements are negligible and you'll be fighting sloppy mounting still.. I had the solid subframe mounts from PFADT installed last year with trailing arms, so that's already set for me. Unless you're going to get to 500 RWHP/TQ or more, save yourself the time and money and just do the inserts (they don't require removal of the frame).
the rest of the parts above are very nicely explained in the link I provided.. Along with some other cool stuff people may not know about how their car is put together.
