I regret to say that I cannot at this time, but let me assure you that it won't be long and Mike will post them up.

I am looking forward to it.
Please tell the people at Lingenfelter to complete the paperwork and return it to Deb!!!

I know it's exaggerated, but the same concept still applies.
.83 to .94 on OEM tires and wheels with old style eXtreme. The previous generation of eXtremes were not full on high pressure monotubes. The new Xas are vastly superior to our old product. By the time we did the Xas we already had the new wheels and tires on the car. The plan was to do skid pad testing with the new tires and wheels and then add the Xas. That went out the window with some poor spring weather and we had to jump to the Xa setup for the road course testing at New Jersey Motorsports Park.

Xa Skid Pad


OEM and old style eXtreme Skid Pad


No matter how you slice it going from .83 / 87 in all the magazine tests and our baseline with the OEM G8 at the NJMP skid pad to over 1G is a wow of an improvement.

I just talked to Ryan (my sales guy there) and he is trying to find out who you spoke to there and find out where the paperwork is at and get it done.

I left Kevin a message and let him know that Deb will be following up in the AM. Pete - I appreciate all your hard work and helping me out with my experience with your product.

Actually, that would be fun to do!. One of the other forums does something like that. Have a hour or so to have open discussion on suspension and stuff.

Pedders is top notch in the GTO community.

Got my GTO to run a 10.16 in the 1/4th on the stock IRS!


DMS and Pedders bent over backwards shipping me parts when I was stationed in Germany!
