Really? your comment suggested they didnt make a change to the sway bars. Rear what you write. And do you know anything about production on an OEM vehicle? I do, I work in the industry. Just because a revised piece shows up sooner doesn't mean the big wigs at GM said "oh man, we have to address the subframes first and THEN sway bars." Thats not what happens in the design development process. Most likely, design revisions were slated at identical times for platform updates. Then manufacturer A has a lead time of 2 months on the sub frame bushing supply, and manufacturer B has a lead time of 8 months on the sway bars. GM then takes this and integrates it into their production schedule. They roll in the available upgrades sooner, and go online with the longer lead time item with a new platform update. No one from GM was "following Pedder's advice" from a book you wrote. I have worked directly with GM for a very long time and will tell you that the engineering directors and vehicle dynamicists do not scour the internet to look for the advice of aftermarket internet vendors.
YOu are bashing anybodies opinion that disagrees with you, specifically of trackspec's. He drove cars back to back and gave his impression and how it relates to the OP, you are arguing and trying to say his opinion isn't valid. You didnt offend me at all. You can feel free to post you opinion on what he should do...and you did....more than a couple of times. Again, just relax sir. Just drop the "hard sell" and things will be fine.
