Yes we did get a call. That said, on a new product the issue they are having could have been the same issue had we done the first run of coils for these Camaros. As much as Mike and I roll our eyes at what we sometimes see, I always try to remember that it could have been us in the same position or that we too will have our turn in a similar situation at some point in time. It keeps us from pointing fingers and on our toes.

We take our OEM relationships very seriously. When we get a call, we do everything we can to support them. This is particularly true with GM. GM has been very good for Pedders and the only way we have to say thank you is to be very good to GM. Brand-X did lowering coils so Pedders will do Xa coilovers. How is that for a thank you?

These are show cars, not go cars, but the Xa coilovers will allow the designer to set the vehicles at exactly the ride height they envisioned when they did the original design. When they migrate from being mostly to show to mostly go cars the Xa coilovers will deliver superior performance. That is how Pedders answers a call from GM to say Thank You.
