I want to lower just the front suspension
I was wondering if anyone can help me with something. I want to drop just the front end to give it more of a slant. Would doing that effect performace of the cars driveability in any way? Thanks

it could change it some but not alot, as long as the camber and toe are adjusted to compensate for the angle change i cant see many complications
|
doing just the front may create more of an issue than you think. The concerns are balance. Dropping the front just alittle, means new coils. Nearly all drop coils out there will have a higher spring rate, thus changing the spring balance. Not having these cars yet to play with, we are not sure of how it will handle.

Pedders springs are designed to be driven every day, i see some cars that have other brands that lower a car to the ground, causing a number of problems, from uncomfortable ride, to scrapping to much

I hope it doesn't cause much of an issue because I want to lower the front of my car too.

Even on the Camaro, you will find the coils will be pretty weak. They will not be like the late model Camaros and TA,s that allowed less than 1/2 inch front travel. You will have a fully active suspension. The travel, however, will be less than the G8, which is a great thing!. this is the difference between Holden design and USA input and control. However, you will find, just like Dale E. Jr. found, there will be way too much looseness and body role in the stock designs. That is good for us because we can fix what they could not do!! LOL

Now when you say such things...like "too much body roll", etc...that's coming from a suspension fanatic, right? (who's naturally apt to want better than the average joe would)
You don't think the car handles like a wet noodle stock, right? |
Thanks alot Mike, I took a look at the site and drop coils + the Street I package seem to be the way to go. 2 more questions though: do you guys have a price for your drop coils yet and approximately how much will they lower the car?

We know what GM is doing with the Camaro suspension, as compared to the G8. So with that said, we pretty much know how the Camaro will handle and feel. But of coarse, once they are out, we will be able to do comparisons. Pedders USA is buying a Camaro. So we will be able to play and play hard. We will not be the only ones. Judging by the amount of emails, calls, and such from future Camaro guys, I can tell you this ride is going to be road hard by thousands. mike dms |
