You can always run a few beads of welds on the bolt in sub frame connectors. A Better torque arm would help you out as well then the weak stamp steel stocker
I'm about to do this same setup on my 2000 z28 and post the video....I already have a a few of the parts just waiting to free up some cash the do the rest.....Keep it up glad to see some new content creators like me working on the same vehicle platform, maybe we can do some colabs one day.
...very nice! love the car man! ...just watch those rear lower control arms, as they tend to destroy poly bushings over time ...but i love bmr stuff, got their springs on my 98

heavychevy383 yeah I almost bought the control arms that have the rotating metal end. But I heard they were noisy. I know of strano performance. I’ll be looking at his stuff more.
@@AllTimePerformance yeah, they make a sperical rod end, & ive heard the same thing that, theyre noisy... the ones im thinkin of (im tryin to remember where i saw em at?) are more of a rubber or deralin (sp?) bushing with a sort of rod end built into them thus no noise... but i do highly recommend strano performance & founders performance, great folks, great service, & very knowledgeable & helpful when i did the suspension rebuild on my 98 formula last year
& dude... i gotta say... that is a BEAUTIFUL car u got there!!!

LT11988 thanks for the advice. Torque arm is on my wish list.
I'm doing the same to my camaro I appreciate the vid Wasnt aware of the cutting but I'll be prepared now
Haha hope my rear control arm bolts come out that easy, if they was anything like the fronts ill be a little pissed lol. But awesome tutorial😁
Update: the bolts in rear control arms came out easy😁

How much stronger, will this make my 10 bolt rear end???
all depends on how much power your putting down
what exactly is the relocation braket for? is it needed if i but the rear lower control arms? or is needed for a special purpose
Helps get the control arms level. And is another step to help prevent the wheel hop these cars are plagued with.
its only needed if your car is lowered
