FE3 to ZL1 Zway Bar UpgradeZ and ZL1 ZuZpenZion PackageZ

The ZL1 is now in production. While you are waiting for your ZL1, now is a good time to plan you suspension upgrades and Pedders is ready to help you with that.

You have been carefully building your 5th Gen into your vision of the Ultimate Camaro and now the ZL1 is making claim to that title!?! No worries. You can upgrade your FE3 or FE4 to ZL1 sway bars on steriods and more... with a little help from Pedders.


We'll start with the FE3 to beyond the ZL1 upgrade.

The Camaro SS FE4 suspension moves the rear sway bar endlink / drop link mounting close to the knuckle to increase efficiency. The stock bars are now solid 23mm front and 24mm rear. The ZL1 will have 25mm solid front bars and 28mm solid rear bars. Chevrolet moved from hollow to solid bars for strength and durability. They did well, very well

Pedders exists to take Modern Muscle to the next level and we have a particular affinity for the 5th Gen Camaro. Our FE4 / FE5 sway bars are solid. The front is 27mm and adjustable. The rears are 32mm. Our bar sets are sold with high efficiency OEM quiet front end-links and fixed position drop- links. How do they perform, do you really need to ask? The owner of this Camaro is a law enforcement professional with countless hours of driver training. His professional opinion -- 'Holy shit, man! The front HOOKED not even CLOSE to breaking traction and the back end stayed right with it. I mean....when the car turns, it TURNS.'

Our FE4 / 5 rear sway bars can be retro fit to any 5th Gen Camaro. The new Camaro rear lower control arms have the 'old' style close to the differential endlink mounting tabs and the 'new' close to the knuckle mounting hole. This is a smart choice by Chevrolet as one coomon part number can be used on all versions of the 5th Gen Camaro. The new OE lower rear control arms are inexpensive.

Why did Chevrolet make the change in rear sway bar geometry and size? To make the 5th Gen handle better. From day one of the 5th Gen the bias of the car has been heavy on understeer. This is a function of weight distribution, wheel base, track, wheel and tire size and of course sway bar strength. The FE4 addresses both with improved rear sway bar geometry and sway bar strength. The old bars were hollow. The new bars are solid, the material is stronger. The old bars were almost the same diameter (strength) front and rear. The new FE4 rear bar is 1mm larger than the front. It doesn't sound like much, but coupled with the increase in efficiency of the new outboard mounting position it is a big difference. The FE4 Camaro is far more balanced that the FE3 SS. It is more neutral and handles better in the corners.

The new FE5 ZL1 takes this all on steroids. The front bar goes up in size to 25mm and the rear bar a huge jump to 28mm. Talk about balance from the factory

At Pedders, even great isn't good enough. We have been using a dumbed down rear alignment with a 32mm bar to reduce understeer and improve cornering. We set the rear camber to half the front camber or even less. The on track results were excellent. We feel we had a ZL1 two years ago with our Pedders USA Camaro. Now, there is a ZL1 so we have been hard at work with our partners at Lingenfelter on the L/28. When you next see the L/28 it will be running Pedders new FE4 / FE5 / ZL1 sway bars.

Here is the new rear bar complete with Pedders drop-link. The rear bar is NOT adjustable because the FE5 / FE5 / ZL1 drop link design is most efficient when straight up at rest.



The new 32mm bar takes up space, but there are ZERO clearance issues.




V6 Brake Clearance



V6 Brake and Supercar Clearance



To get the aggressive alignment we wanted Pedders Extended Range Rear Camber and Toe bolts are necessary. They increase the adjustment range by 1 degree or in layman's terms a lot. We achieve this result my moving the eccentric to the outer edge of the bolt. The eccentrics are cut on a water jet, assembled in a jig and welded. This is a time consuming process. To finish the bolts we have them cadmium plated.


Eccentrics have a bad habit of drifting under high loads. We address that with more material. We make our eccentrics out of stock that is much thicker than the OEM bolts. More material means more strength and improved holding power.



We use a thick 'holding' nut and a thin jam nut. Unlike quenched nuts, you can use these again and again.

Pete,

Think you can use a safe, cost-friendly shipper for Hawaii? Please add me to pre-order.

Camaro ZL1Sway Conversion Rear Bar ONLY for Lowered 2010 - 2011 FE2 or FE3 Retail $514.04 Pre-Buy $426.64

Rear is lowered between 3/4" - 1". If I raise the car in the future, what is the acceptable tolerance before I need the longer drop links?

Also, I won't be able to take delivery during periods in March, can we discuss ship date options?

thanks

Pete,
Quick question would changing out the lower arms call for a new alignment?

You are killing me with coming out with these new parts! I am just trying to get all I have installed now.

Also how big is the difference gonna be between the Ep1167hd I have now getting ready to install and the new Ep1168hdz. Ah this never ends.

Yes the new rear arms will require an alignment because the rear camber bolts are removed in the process. You could mark them and use the witness marks to get the alignment close to where is was, but rear tires are far more expensive than an alignment.

If you already have the EP1167HD bushes, I'll accidentally pack the new EP1167HDZ rear bush with the kit

Pete....I can't say thanks enough. I LOVE the new feel and ride of my 2010. Totally new feel...and being able to adjust the ride height and comfort with those coil overs?!?! AWESOME!....(not that I am going to change right height, but the ability to do so is pretty d@mn cool). I do, however, like to fiddle with the firmness of the ride.

If I may...

For anyone contemplating, don't just take my word for it. If you are unsure, ask around to the others that have already done suspension upgrades. I don't think you'll find a single person who will say that the upgrades they did were not worth it.... I had the previous Pedders rear sway and Pete helped me to upgrade to the FE4/5 32mm bar with endlinks (and LCA's with inner Pedders bushes) and it made a BIG difference. That, along with the subframe bushes, radius bushes, front sway, XA's....WOAH.

I really can't wait for the next Harris Hills date so I can find out just how far I can push it now. It's going to be a BLAST....not to mention C5FIII Auto-X is going to be SWEET now!!!

We have already sold two, even thought it isn't officially in the catalog. We'll make it official today and get the price in the catalog.

We have TWO NEW Pace Car Package that use ZL1 Style Rear Sway Bars

FE4 Camaro Pace Car Package
Part #CAMARO PACE FE4

Model Year 2012 - on

The Camaro Pace Car Package has been updated to include Pedders 32mm ZL1 sway bar upgrade and droplinks.

In 2010 the on track NASCAR and Indy Camaro Pace Cars took the track with Pedders Xa coilovers, sway bars, radius and sub-frame bush inserts.GM asked Pedders to help them achieve a lower more aggressive stance for the Pace cars. Being Pedders we delivered a bit more adding some additional function to the GM request for a more aggressive look. In August of 2010 GM added a range of Pedders coilovers and sway bars to the GMPP range of products. You can expect your 5th Gen Pace Car to look and drive exactly as the on track pace cars. Adding a Pace Car Package hones your already sharp Camaro handling to a finely honed razors edge.
GMPP Note: This product is intended for use on racing and / or off road vehicles and is not authorized for use on street vehicles


Retail $2,582.95 Pre-Buy Price $2.324.66

Camaro Pace Car Pkg ZL1 Upgrade
Part #CAMARO PACE ZL1

Model Years 2010-2011 Includes New GM ZL1 Arms


The Camaro Pace Car Package has been updated to include Pedders 32mm ZL1 sway bar upgrade, NEW GM Rear Lower Control Arms and Pedders ZL1 droplinks.

In 2010 the on track NASCAR and Indy Camaro Pace Cars took the track with Pedders Xa coilovers, sway bars, radius and sub-frame bush inserts.GM asked Pedders to help them achieve a lower more aggressive stance for the Pace cars. Being Pedders we delivered a bit more adding some additional function to the GM request for a more aggressive look.

Adding a Pace Car Package hones your already sharp Camaro handling to a finely honed razors edge.

Chevy did it right with the ZL1 and now you can apply ZL1 technology on steroids to your 2010 to 2011 FE3 SS in a turnkey package. The ZL1 outboard rear sway bar mounting points are more efficient than the original inboard mounts. The result in improved vehicle dynamics in a daily driver, at the strip or on a road course. The ZL1 delivers with solid sway bars for improved bar strength. The front bar is 25mm and the rear bar is 28mm. Pedders ZL1 bars are solid 27mm adjustable front and 32mm rear. You won't believe what you feel behind the wheel. The conversion kit includes everything you need to take an FE3 rear to ZL1 on steroids standards. Pedders sway bars, High Efficiency OE Quiet front adjustable endlinks, rear drop links and Chevrolet rear arms. This is a direct bolt in kit. Take off the OE FE3 bits and install your new ZL1 on steroids bits.

Retail $2,672.95 Pre-Buy Price $2.405.65

Your rear bar and state-of-the-art endlinks should sell quickly on the C5 user classifieds
