The sealed package in the picture are the bushings for the front radius arms. Next, the bushings on the far right in the picture are for the front portion of the rear subframe, the bushings above the radius arm package are the rear bushings. There are six total you can replace on the rear subframe. I replaced the main four that connect the subframe to the car. Huge difference in the feel of the rear end now!

ZL1,

We already did this on Facebook, but it isn't official until we do it on C5. Thank you for choosing Mike Haddad, Haddad Motorsports and Pedders for your ZL1. We appreciate your business. Welcome to the PEDDERS NATION!

Haddad and Pedders is a good combo, I used both when I had my GTO.

I've yet to ride in a ZL1 so if you're offering then I accept! :thumbup:

Thank you for the kind words.

Tim,

Even with the winter lay-up I think you may have more miles on your ZL1 than anyone.

Looks good! :happy0180:

I was TRACK RAT #1 :pound:

You can really tell the difference on the track PEDDERS vs STOCK

Track Rat sounds much better.

Fully agree, I have had other ZL-1 owners in my car and they can't believe how much better it handles compaired to theirs.

When do you notice the difference the most? How would you describe it?

Is the improvement primarily due to the lowering springs, the bushings or the sways? Was thinking of just throwing on a set of sways if that makes sense..

I have springs and bushings. No sway bars (yet). The car feels like it hugs the road even more on corners and sharp turns, with it in one of the PTMs its almost as if the car doesn't have to work as hard.
This upgrade just gives a sense of more control over the car.

My .02 cents , is difference on launch on the strip !

I have the full Pedders ZL1 race suspension upgrade (bushings / coil overs /sway bars )

It doesn't sway and feels seated to the ground more ! I bet a video of stock vs Pedderized ZL1 side by side on strip you would see the difference !

At last years Camaros for Heroes event , my only performance mod was Peddders and I beat all those stock ZL1's that went against me !

The addition of springs and bushings now allows me to feel the car give feedback thru a turn. Much more feedback from the tires and it tracks smoothly with it's initial turn-in when entering a corner. I have not added thicker sway bars yet. You can feel it the first time you enter a turn.:biggrin:
