This is a Pedders-lowered car. I know it's someone on here...but for the life of me - I can't remember who...

..the reason they get a bump from me is because I think it's well thought out with replacement MRC ride-sensor links to "zero" the Mag Ride shocks at the new height. I think lowering is 1cm up front...and 2 in the back to level out the car more...dropping the center of gravity, and "lifting" the front splitter a bit to help with clearance.

I have not ridden in one yet....but together with the sways and bushings...I'm told that Tour Mode is about the same as OE (the dampers are actually working to take a lot of the harshness out of the ride in that mode...easing the stiffer springs)...and Sport mode is significantly stiffer-feeling (the dampers WANT it to be stiff in the mode...amplifying the stiffer springs.)

Is that Armysig's car?

Nice LOOK!

I'm leaning towards the Pedders myself. Since I also use a "hide-away" front license plate...have you ripped it off yet? I can see it hanging under the front splitter...doesn't appear as though it's fond of the air flow! Just saying...

Funny you say that. I was doing a 1/2 mile event at 140mph it ripped off went under my car. I am using the topflight removable one now

I've emailed Pfadt and have had a lengthy conversation with JusticePete from Pedders and both said that the MRC sensor arms are not needed. I inquired to both of them as to if I could buy these for my car as I thought that might smooth the ride out some.

How much stiffer are the pedders springs than the stock ZL1 springs? Any idea how they compare to the spring rates on the new Z28?

Any track data on the performance of the pedders suspension upgrade (springs, sways, bushings)?
