BMR swaybars are one of the most noticeable handling improvements you can do for your 2010 Camaro. From the factory, GM did a decent job with spring rates and swaybars but the Camaro begs for more roll resistance to counteract the car's excessive weight. BMR recognizes this need and has a solution that not only increases roll resistance but does so with very minimal decrease in ride quality.
BMR takes advantage of today's technology by manufacturing it's swaybars from tubular steel, a process started in Europe and adopted by most current auto manufacturers today.
All BMR swaybars are cold formed, a chosen manufacturing process that doesn't involve heat, resulting in more consistent "memory" retention. A key feature in BMR's swaybar design is the adjustable rates, allowing multiple settings for varying driving styles. From the factory their is inherent understeer in this platform. Rather than just make larger OE bars with the same problem, BMR's solution is biased front-to-rear roll resistance, resulting in a neutral overall balance. For instance, by simply replacing the rear bar only and using the first hole, you effectively neutralize understeer without changing overall roll resistance. Adding the front bar and choosing a stiffer rear setting increases overall roll resistance.
Countless hours were put into developing and testing the ideal rates for our bars, taking this platform to a whole new level of driving excitement!
The two primary functions of sway bars are to control body roll and to determine the understeer or oversteer behavior of a vehicle. Stock sway bars have low torsional spring rates because they are manufactured from small diameter bar stock or tubing. BMR Suspension’s SB030 front and rear sway bar kit was designed by factoring in the vehicle weight, application, motion ratio, coil spring rate, and adjustability requirements. Manufactured from heavy-wall 29mm DOM tubing, the SB030 is cold formed to better resist torsional fatigue and retain its "memory" far longer than the hot-formed bars used by many competitors. The sway bar is CNC-formed for exact manufacturing tolerances and repeatable high quality. Thrust washers are welded to the bar to locate the sway bar bushing mounts. This is critical as it properly locates the sway bar and prevents lateral movement during hard cornering maneuvers. The sway bar mounts to the car using polyurethane bushings. These bushings are molded from 88-durometer, low-deflection, polyurethane, and are internally fluted to keeps grease in the bushing. The steel sway bar mounting brackets are reinforced to minimize deflection. The sway bar is 3-way adjustable to tune the amount of torsional spring rate and to determine the handling characteristics (understeer/oversteer) of the vehicle. BMR Suspension designed the SB030 sway bar for street performance, autocross, and road race applications. The large adjustable sway bar’s three positions give you the versatility to drive to and from the road course or autocross and still out handle the competition with the same sway bar. The SB030 sway bars give you a 98%-214% increase (front) and a 99%-301% increase (rear) in sway bar rate. These rate increases and adjustability allow you to fine-tune the handling characteristics of your Camaro so you can drive harder through corners with minimal body roll. The hollow design allows for loads of strength in the lightest package possible. This means increased performance with no sacrifices. The SB030 attaches to your Camaro with 88-durometer polyurethane bushings, reducing the deflection from the stock rubber bushings. This allows for more sway bar control, and more control equals better handling. When performance is a must, rely on BMR Suspension! BMR Suspension’s SB030 sway bars are available in black hammertone and red powdercoat for long-lasting good looks. Installation time is about 3-4 hours. Proudly made in the U.S.A.! NOTE: When using on 2012-newer models it is necessary to purchase either BMR ELK006 Rear Sway Bar End Links or OE 2010/2011 Rear End Links. |
