I want coil over that will lower my car but not change the dirveing carectoistics that much what do you guys recomend?

I believe the Pedders are the only coilovers that adjust ride height without changing preload on the springs.

Correct, Pedders has put a ton of R&D in to the Camaro Coilovers, we offer two different options, the Xa Coilovers that are 2 way single adjustable, and you adjust the clevis not the spring seat to change ride height, so you at no point change the travel or position of the piston in the damper with ride height changes.

The Supercar Coilovers add a much larger piston size and remote canisters to an unbelievable ride, and even better performance.

The Pedders Supercar Coilovers are the best coilover option available for the Camaro, period.

Pedders all the way.

I have them and it is very close to stock ride quality with my 22's

If all you are after is lower ride height save yourself $1500+ and get a high quality set of lowering springs. There is no reason to spend that much money if you have no need to.

I recommend a dictionary.

Hee hee. Sorry, had to say it.

I know I'm lazy when it comes to using spell check on these sites. Thanks for all the replies though. Once I have these in I wont be readjusting them, so would the super car set be a waist over the regular Xa's? Or are there other things that would justify the higher cost such as ALLOT better ride quality?
Thanks

Rob@WretchedMS · 08-22-2010, 08:27 PM

The Supercar coilovers have a lot better rise quality, along with more adjustability in them than the standard Xa's do.

Bottom line, you are the one that has to make the decision on which is best for you, my choice, the Supercar version, but that's me.

Berean · 08-24-2010, 05:30 PM

I decided on Pedders. I'm getting them installed by Bruce next week.

RichJ. · 08-24-2010, 06:47 PM

Good choice.

I have BC Racing coilovers. They adjust without changing pre load.

Thanks Berean

Bruce is a racer on the weekends and an suspension professional during the week. You could not have made a better choice for an Indiana installation of your GMPP / Pedders coilovers. Thank you for placing your trust in Raymond's Alignment and Pedders. We appreciate your business. Welcome to the PEDDERS NATION!

I decided to go with the whole street xa package. After reading some of the suspension threads, I think it makes sense if I'm getting coilovers to get the bushings done as well.

I'm looking forward to getting it installed next week. I hope it makes a big difference in handling over the sways and end links that I've already done.
