Good point. Please email them to PGB@PeddersUSA.com marked CONFIDENTIAL. They will stay that way.

Empty under your name. Call me with an update.

It just didn't transfer to characters well... Maybe if one character was under a car and the other one was playing with the jack... orrr if they were doing a 3 stooges bit :laugh: (Hey, I should be talking. I don't even know how to do it. )

He hasn't posted installed pics yet...
:popcorn:

Ok. I'll check the other one. I"m thinking I better pick up some end links. Hopefully not another arm as well. I've never had the other come loose so I may be fine there.

:bellyroll:

nono... we used it up front!!!! awesome trick!!!!

:D

Front Sway bar was almost a no go... holy crap we're both done... But the new one is now in and officially that sucked..


Long day... But we're still hangin in there. :thumbsup:

If we were asked to do it again... we could do it in about 5 hours... You learn so much after the first try.

;)

Front sway bar.................. :bellyroll:

That's the story of my modding experience on this car. I could cut the time in half easily to do them again.

You wussy... lol :D

Long day for you guys - but it WILL all be worth it !!!

...now get back to work. :paddle:

:word: :word: :word:

I'd work til the sun came up if I had to.

come to think of it, i don't even remember. i think i managed to hit it with my knife or something.

i think my biggest memory of the weekend was that BS ticket on the way there. :rolleyes:

that & Chris making me drool all over my steering wheel with that deafening awesomeness that was the 2.5" straight-through muffler system he took off :(

:sm0: you would! :rolleyes: :laugh:

what've you been doing to your car?

LOL...I know that feeling.

I was lucky...I had a team helping me out. We had coils, stainless brake lines, front sway bar, and rear sway bar done in 1.5 hours. Still need to get the radius and subframes done. But, shouldn't be that long. Now...leeettts see how long it takes to take them back off your car....


and install them on mine


:D
:popcorn:

just finished... the car looks great.. I'm done... got a couple small items to tidy up... that locking nut on the top of the coil is a beast to get back on... I need to run it on and off the old coil to loosen it up..

Car looks frackin awesome... cant really take a pic right now.

Got some good video of the rear but we were too pushed for time to video to the front...

:D

I now have pedders dual adjustable supercar coilovers, sway bars, adjustable end links and some inserts on my car... :D :thumbsup:

time for bed...

:D

:drool:

I'm exhausted too. Watching yer thread all day just took it out of me.

Congrats brother. :thumbup: I can't wait to see it. Alignment next?

Bushings timed?

Bet it looks good :popcorn:

2:18 am ????

Looking forward to the pictures.

GTAHVIT:
I can't wait to see the pictures, but I'm mostly looking forward to hearing how it drives. Congrats on the new goodies!

I kept giving Chris a hard time about the neat little ratchet wrenches I used to do mine...

I'd be willing to lay a bet on this one :) ...this was the second set of sways I've done and it was no easier the second time. The only 'lesson' I learned is to pause IMMEDIATELY when you get the old one out so you can put 'start' the new one going in EXACTLY the way the old one came out (and don't forget to work it OUT on the passenger side...not the driver side.

I spent all day warning Chris that I would be laughing at him while he was trying to get the front bar out...but when it came time and he was under there trying to remember his geometry classes...I was too tired to give him a hard time. I groaned deeply and got my dumb-ass under the car and did battle with the front sway bar...I managed to do it this time without any blood blisters or scrapped knuckles...


Chris...my only concern is that I found a bolt in my pocket when I got home last night. I'm not sure where it goes...but it has 'cleatus' stamped on the top...

Thanks for helping him.

I would take that bet on all but the front sway bar. Lol. I was actually staring toward the motor mounts as I laid under the car. :laugh: BUT I might win the bet because if I had to do it again right now, I'd cut the bar coming out.

Geometry classes ............:bellyroll:

Thanks very much... everyone... sorry we're weren't more interactive yesterday...

There is a lot that you need to have sorted out before you install these.. the inserts are pretty straight forward.. The rear sway isn't bad if your exhaust isn't in the way...

The front sway is a kick in the.... :confused0068: The rear coils are by far the most difficult, if you really know what you are doing and have all the right tools it is a one man job... The hardest part on the front coils are those damn clevis bolts on the knuckles...

Mossman was the key to us getting it done... he got the sway bars sorted out with a little very little help from me... :D

My assessment. you absolutely can do this yourself .... Must have tools... BIG breaker bar. wrenches up to about 24 mm. Six side deep well 1/2 sockets up to 24MM... small to medium vice....

and an impact wrench is a HUGE help... Almost a necessity.

If you've never done it before it's a two man job...

Damn the car sits down nice a low :D

Talk to you guys soon, trying to get it aligned today, we'll see.

MOSS!!! Dude!!! I owe you HUGE!!!!!! Thanks a ton brother.. getting ready to get the locking nut finished. You think I need to jack the car back up??

:iono:

CMON CLEATUS!!!!!!! LMAO :bellyroll:

Dudes, five hours for a sway bar... at our pay rate out here thats, +4 carry two,

crap,

a crap-ton of money... I heard it took like ten minutes to install mine... but... the front clip wasn't in the car, and there was no motor on the clip, and....:D

NVM...:bellyroll: i'm glad you got it done with no broken fingers...

:bellyroll:

LOL...neither sway bar took four hours...not even two per...it's just a pain. The other 'hard' part is getting access to the mount bolts...another time where I was ribbing Chris reminding him about the cool little ratchet wrenches I have in my garage....

and at my bill rate to customers...well...let's just say you wouldn't want to pay me to install parts on your car!!! lol

I changed out the upper controll arms on my sons Jeep Lyberty..... :suicide: SUCKED......

The spindle bolts were pretty fun huh?????

:needpics: :rules: :paddle:

:popcorn::popcorn:

:thumbsup:

I'm glad the family reached out and helped... Thats one of the things I Love about Camaro5. Thanks for stepping up..

And I only threw the billing deal out there since working in the oilfield, my rig is making about 280,000 per day, and when we go on subsea downtime, it figures out to over 10,000 dollars an hour... I hate those reports... and the phone calls, and the e-mails, and the visits from office dudes and dudettes, and visits to the blue room... etc... I just wish I was making that hourly rate... I'ld have................... something..

Today is alignment Sunday and TEST DRIVE Day!!!

Mossman -- helping out Chris, Very Cool. :clap: Staying through to the bitter end, PRICELESS. :respekt:

Awesome job Chris and Moss !!!

Can't wait to see THR22 in all its lowered glory... :thumbsup:

so... have fun pulling out of the driveway yet?
i remember Randy having so much fun in his lowered car

it is all about approach angles. Of course it is my business but I lower every thing and drive every where. If you don't rub some time you need to go lower.

We did some work with GSF/TO and it was recited to me how much 'down time' would cost each rig...they don't mess around when it comes to knowing exactly how much they're making an hour...and it's nuts.

And I'm looking forward to hearing about how the alignment went...and my first test ride post mods. However, I feel that ride may wind up inflicting substantial pain on my wallet.

:laugh: Can't wait for those stories. lol

He'll learn it, but his driveway, though not too bad, can be a pain. If he goes much lower than me, he'll have to be REALLY careful.

........:laughabove:

If you still have a wallet you have not shown your 5th Gen enough mod love :D

i know, right! heck, i thought Spike's driveway would be fine... i was wrong. :facepalm:
i think Chris's might be a little steeper :yikes:

:word:

Sure has been quiet in here today. I'm guessing he's driving a bit, gettiing out laughing, admiring the new look, getting in, repeat :laugh:

When I first came offshore I worked as a medic on a GSF project.. Then for a while I ended up working on a TO project...

Now I work for Diamond Offshore, no longer a service hand, and yes, it's universal that everybody from the newest galley hand to the Co-Reps know almost to the dollar the day rate for a rig, and how much of a percentage you loose if the soft ice cream maker goes out etc... It kills me that we have some equipment that we never ever use, but heaven help us if it gets on a report that it doesn't work, and the Co-Reps find out.... Oh Lord...

lol, you think...

Geez, Revo has his install pics posted already :rolleyes:

I almost finished my rollcage cleanup/ whole interior rebuild before GTA installed his alignment LOL...
