....and WOW, what a difference!! Thanks Gil@ 6LE for the hook up. The PHK crew is always looking out for one another!!
I installed 2011 Camaro SS front calipers and rotors and Strano sways that I've been dying to get on.
The braking is WWWAAAYYY better than before. Should've come this way from the factory, lol.
My car, which is full suspension (minus a T/A) has never felt so good. The braking is amazing and the whole car feels planted on the freeway and the streets. Even uneven streets I'm used to driving feel better!
i'm so in love with the feeling of the car now (I wasn't crazy about it with just Konis and strano springs) and can't wait to drive again as soon as I'm getting out of it, lol. I'm so glad it's my DD.

I'm very glad you like the bars so much!
Looking at the pics, it looks like you might have overtightened the sway bar endlinks on the back (and probably up front). If those bushings are all smashed and squished one will eventually split and fall off.
You only need to tighten the links until they don't have any play in them and no more. I recommend checking them again in about a week after the bushings kind of mold around the bar/body mounts and tighten if necessary.
But from what I can see, those are way too tight.

Yup. But you have to do a little hub "opening".
