Impressive!

We got a look and explanation of these at VIR - but these pictures and your insight help tell the story. It never ceases to astound me what a large impact such a small part can have!

Thanks for your honesty as you could try and sell bushings that really arent needed. More companies should follow your business honesty as it truly is appreciated and is why Pedders is top notch.

so, would these be a worthy upgrade for a V6 car? would they bolt right in?

i am not planning a race car, but will be installing SS sways and springs.

The ZL1 lower rear control arms are different. they're included in the Z sway bar kit.

I don't think the ZL1 lower arms are different from an FE4 ('12+) SS...I could be wrong, though.

Looking at the bushing in the ZL1 toe link looks very similar to the ZL1 LCA bushing. My question is I am changing out the F3 LCA's to the ZL1 LCA, do I need to change the LCA bushing to Pedders "EP7264" on the ZL1 LCA? Thanks in advance.

Replacement would be my preference.

but if the only difference in the control arm is the sway bar mounting point...then I would probably just buy the ZL1 toe links and some aftermarket lowers or something.
