When lowering the car with the coilovers, will it affect caster, camber, toe? If yes, what can be done?

Pete- What is the sale price for the track extreme kit? And what would the total be if I wanted the Exteme XA COilover kit as well?
Thanks,
Rob

Couldn't have said it better myself! I want be racing this car so I don't anticipate any drastic mods, but I still want my Camaro to be different, and at least a tick better than most of the other ones I'll see on the street. As far as the suspension goes all I really want is for it to handle slighty better and lower it SAFELY (emphasis on the lowering aspect) so that I don't have to replace or add more parts after 500 miles. In your opinion would the lowering springs you'll offer be sufficient to accomplish this alone?

The entire 46mm monotube body screws into the clevis / lower mount to lower the vehicle and out of the mount to raise the vehicle. Adjusting the height does not alter the the spring load becuase they are independent of each other. That means you ride remains the same fully up or fully dropped. Some virtually unknown damper company has assumed the role of primary sponsor from Rolex. Brand-x supplied the coilovers... We custom made one off radius rod bushes for the new ZETA II radius arms. Those arms are the same length as the arms on my G8 but they are more linear and the position of the arm to the loop that hold the radius rod bush is more on center. The stud for the joint that connects the arm to the clevis is 2mm larger is my memory is correct. All these subtle refinements to the arm mean that it is more robust and the steering will have better feel. The changes also will handle the loads of larger wheels, tires and brakes. The custom radius rod bushes we made for the GS were the protoytpe for the radius rod bushes that are sold as street parts for the 5th Gen Camaro. That is what is so exciting about this. Pedders Street Parts made the grade by GM Racing for full on RACE USE. We have other compents on the GS as well. The front eXtreme Castor Washers. We include those with the Camaro Radius Rod Bushes. Rear Tow Lock washers. Toe link bushes. Inner rear control arm and upper control arm. I think that completes the list.
pete, it was great talking to you and i am so excited about getting this kit installed on my car. as soon as your secretary contacts me ill be putting my money down on this set. you got me so hyped to get this car now. thanks

I know I can't wait either - I may ship them to my dealer and see if they can have them installed before I pick up my car, if they come out in time.

I have to say I am amazed. Our phones have been ringing off the hook and our Dealers phones too. It has been difficult to keep up with the forums, emails and calls. There are going to be some very serious 5th Gens on the road. Thank you all for you business and support. We appreciate your trust.

Merry Christmas -- Aussie Style!
