Pedderising a ZL1


Thank You Rodgers Chevrolet.

Rodgers is the first Chevrolet Dealer to Pedderise a ZL1. Maureen, Becky, Gerry, and Dave are outstanding.

This is the driver's side half-shaft.



The rubber encapsulated rose joint in the ZL1 Toe Link.



The under car aero is very well done.



Front Brakes




Electrified Steering.



More too come....

What can Pedders do better on a ZL1... The sway bar bushes for all forms of the 5th Gen are very good. Thin layer of rubber, layer of spring steel, layer of rubber and hard plastic filets at the base. That is a damn good sway bar D bush. The D bush brackets are a work of art and strong, very very strong. Maybe we should use the Strap and make an even more stable bush...

Is it reserved for seating? Had a feeling that's why you were in Michigan.

Just talked to Pete, it looks like the changes to the ZL1 will not put much of a delay on Pedders upgrades for the ZL1. The rear sway bars are already available to purchase, most of the other Pedders bushings will work with no problem on the ZL1. The ride height is lower than an SS, but we want to lower it a bit more, and we have a solution on how to make this happen in the works already.

I don't want to steal to much of Pete's Thunder, but he's on a secret squirrel mission at the moment and can't post what he'd like to.

Stay Tuned, More info will follow

I know and can attest to the fantastic difference Peddering my G8 made in it's ride and handling. It was nothing short of amazing. Who says you can't have it all? The V8 SuperCar coilovers have to be driven to be fully appreciated.

Simple:

put same spec ZL1 without being Pedderized ; next too the PEDDERIZED ZL1 and run the same course and betcha the Pedderized ZL1 comes out a tad faster and the ULTRA GRIN would be times 1000
