T1 Control Arms
I have a base 2013 C6 I use for Time Trials in NASA. I added ZO6 springs, sway bars, and shocks and use R compound tires on the track. I am deflecting the oem front control arm bushings and am thinking about going to T1 control arms. Does anyone know why GM only offers the lower rear control arm and not the upper rear control arm for the T1package? They have the upper and lower front control arms and I don't know why they wouldn't do the same for the rear.

Thanks but I was trying to stay with all GM parts if possible. Does anyone ever just do the bushings on the front control arms and not do the rears? The C5 T1 suspension didn't have anything for the rear control arms, just the front.

Could not tell much difference between the stock and T1, but saw a huge difference when I went to poly. Today I have the T1 and stock rear uppers. Ride suffered when I went to the poly and since I am a really $itty driver, I could not take advantage of the poly bushings, so why not get the old ride back was my thought.

Thanks and I'm sure you're a better driver than you think. Do you track your car and did you have a problem with the stock bushings that led you to change? I am only thinking about doing something since my stock bushings are not holding up to the cornering and braking on the track with R comnpund tires.
