Pedders 1LE Permagrin install
I finally installed my Pedders 1LE Permagrin pkge last week. Hang your Camaro from a two post lift and tip #1 heat the stock rear sub-frame bushes until you see the gooey stuff at the top and with a good slide hammer they will pop right out. Clean up the holes and lube the EP1201 HD bushes, slide them right in. Don't forget to time the bushes. Hang the 1LE 32mm bar and 45 minutes later you are done. The EP6577 front radius bushes just remove them, hydraulic press out the old and press in the new and in less than 2 hrs. front and rear done and off the lift. Thanks, Pedders, they work!

That is going to be one kick-ass handling Camaro. You will surprise quite a few Mustangs at the track, among others. Enjoy and keep us posted after you've put it through the paces!

My car is on the chassis dyno as we speak, dialing in the cam, longtubes, high-flow cats and CAI. I don't think I'll hit numbers as high as yours, as I went mild lift on the cam since my machine's a road courser. I pick her up tomorrow!
UPDATE: Just got a call from the shop, 478 RWHP! So much for a mild cam, LOL

Can you explain your comment on "timing the bushings". Maybe show pictures?

In short, there is more bushing resistance in the compression of the suspension and less resistance on the rebound. I'll do a video over the next couple of days with a control arm in a vice. |

This question is for racerx8 or Pete. Is this an install a certified (Hyundai) mechanic can do? My mechanic buddy did an outstanding job installing my Magnuson supercharger, but he had the step by step manual to guide him. Are there instructions on the Pedders website that I could print off that would guide him (us) installing the 1LE Permagrin pkg? The 32mm sway bar should be straight forward (hopefully).....I'm concerned with the bushings!
This is for Pete....I have the Pedders ZL1 27mm front & 32mm rear sway bars. What would adding the front sway bar do to the 1LE's handling? |

Using our 27 compared to the factory 27 is a no brainer. It is Pedders Red and automatically adds 15 RWHP The factory bar is fixed position. Our bar is adjustable. Using the enter hole consider it a factory bar. Move to the softest hole, the hole furthest away from the mounting straps and closest to the firewall, your 1LE delivers an incredibly smooth transition to oversteer at slightly lower track speeds. If you want to dial it down, move the endlinks to the hole closest to the radiator. You now have more bar than OEM. Sway bar settings are not locked down. Want just a little more bar? Then move one endlink to the soft hole and leave the other in the center hole. Adjust tire pressure, alignment, spring rate, compression and rebound along with incremental changes to the bars. Pretty soon we have some flexibility in setup |
