Mike, I've got a somewhat stupid question...

Do the prices on the site include installation? If not; about how much would you expect installation costs to run?

I doubt these prices include installation. However, this is a great question that I'm very interested in. I know you can't be exact, but an estimate for an install would be greatly appreciated.

With all the bushes, coils, dampers, front and rear sway bar, strut tower brace, you are looking at 12 hours of billable labor

The drop will be in the 1.2 inch range


Some of the bushes will require using a hydraulic press and may take 10-12 tons to press in and out. Most, however, you will be able to use a universal balljoint press, with some custom made fixtures that we have

Caster we will add aprox 1.5 degrees positive caster with our 5421 caster shim. This is a big deal in terms of handling improvement.

We can normally set up the rear cambers to the -1.5 area and the front cambers to -1.0 with no tire wear issues. Do not do this with OEM bushes, shocks and dampers!!

when you eliminate the and control the suspension system like our systems, you can really go to the edge if you will on the angles

I like those XA coilovers. Too bad GM don't have a LPO code for those

Have they, or are they going to bring your parts to the ring just for kicks-n-giggles? I'd like to see that!

It is interesting you bring up "the ring". We did a joint project with Arrington Engines, which is the premier engine builder for the Dodge product line. they build all the NASCAR engines for Dodge cars and trucks, and now will be building the toyota Truck motors. They are the #1 R&D facility for engines for Chrysler. Anyways, they built a new SRT8 that is going to be tested at the Ring. It is a big block hemi,a that will be putting down over 700hp normally asparated, and running on E085 fuels. And of coarse, it has our Pedders TrackII. I forgot what magazine it will be in. But a fun project.

Definately - I need to upgrade suspension before I bring the car to Callaway.

Will the Track II be still streetable - I want to be able to drive the car on Boston city streets and not make my fillings loose.

TrackII is VERY streetable. No issues there. Now if you really want some serious adjustability, doing our Xtreme Track setup with our Monotube ExtremeXa 30 way adjustable coil overs will work realllllllllly well for high hp stuff (I am assuming this to be the case since you mentioned Callaway

That's true - but your kit looks like its for up to 19" rims where I will run 20s?
Maybe I misread the notes

the 19 inch or 18 inch wheels is really just a measurement. If you are running 20s, then add 13mm to the number, and that will tell you where your height will be, as measured from the lower wheel lip, thru center, to the wheel opening.

It does not mean you cannot. OK?
