This will aid in nose dive under hard braking and provide good weight transfer for the drive off the corner.

Anyone have any information that they would like to share. I know that this is a lot driver preference. What may be the optimum for our Camaro's?

Ralph,

If you setup like the other guys how are you going to beat them

With Pedders Xa or Supercar coilovers there is only one way to set the pre-load. My way

Front coil preload 2/3mm
Rear coil preload 10mm

I'll be happy to discuss your setup details here on the forum or privately if you are looking for an extra edge Here is the information I need from you.
  • Wheel and tire package details
  • Detailed list of powertrain modifications
  • Detailed list of all suspension modifications
  • Current Alignment specifications
  • Corner weights
  • Ride Heights Pedders Style
  • Sway bar sizes and setting if adjustable
  • RWHP
  • Brake Package including fluid and pad details

With this basic information we can into a detailed setup discussion.
