Pedders suspension and KW3 coilovers not gonna work? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I think I might have screwed up buying these KW3 coilovers a while back. I've got an '11 SS with FE4 (2012) rear ZL-1 control arms and Pedders ZL-1 32mm rear sway bar.

The KW3's are part numbered for a 2010-2011 SS.

Will these even work on my car?

Well you did screw up with those brand-x bits, but they will fit and work on your Camaro ;-)

Ooops. No they won't

They will not work with FE4 endlink positioning. And didn't you sell some V3s in the past what gives.

I have the Variant 3's on my 2010 SS. The rear shock reservoir will not allow you to change to the 2012 and up rear sway bar setup. You can see this in the pic. Sorry for the bad news...

FrankT, thanks for the picture

I had my KW versions confused

No problem! By the way, I have quite a few Pedders pieces on my car too. Great stuff!

Well shit, this sucks. I guess I will sell these and spend the money on other mods.
