What rims are on Pete's G8?

My Camaro SS will be a daily for now, so im not going to go crazy with the suspension. Ill probably have you guys ship me a set of lowering springs and a strut tower brace whenever you develop it.

Miami is a bit of a drive for a set of coilovers! When do you get your Camaro?

We need a Camaro ASAP in Michigan or the great Lakes area to do our Beta test fitting our new Pedders Xa coil overs. If you are in this area, you will literally get the best deal on a set of Xas than anyone in the USA. FREE

We have the G8 dialed in which is also a Zeta platform. So we expect the beta test fit to be near or at perfection. You can see the Benchmark test info we have posted on all the forums about our tests in NJ.

I am flying out to OHIO, then up to Michigan Friday, then Sunday. I will be out there with Pete doing some work with him. I can extend my trip another week to complete this test fit with him. So Camaros should be in poeple;s hands by then.

If you have any questions, just ask!

For anyone familiar with the LIE exit 42 going east on the ramp going to the Northern State. There's a "speed bump" that unless you're going 5 mph (35mph speed limit) or in a truck, sounds extremely painful.

I have no idea what the Corvette's do. Suspension work every couple of years?
hahahahaha so true!!!!!!! i live in the bronx and see idiots with civics on the floor destroying bumpers and oil pans daily!!:sm 0:

Hay guys do we need to start a new thread like "warehouse 13" to see where the Xa coil overs are that was ordered in December, I do not want to order rimes till i have put on you coil overs and set the ride height and test driven the car, So i will start telling the rim Manufacturers that i have to hold off till i get my coil overs.

Orderd on 12-28-08 MIA 7 months and 19 days.

We fully understand your frutration. Please remember that the Camaro arrived late to market and we were waiting to confirm everything there were no last minute changes to the production units. That is all old socks, they are almost here!

It is frustrating for all of us as well, especially knowing how hard the the great efforts, travel and expense that Pedders has and will continue to do, to make the Camaro the best we can do. I can safely say no one has spent more tire on Zeta platform perfecting her ride more than Pedders. We will continue our drive to near perfection. We may extend our services to include package containng wheels, tires, and possibly custom body parts to REALLY control the best that you can get, including exact setups based off of corner balancing, and tracking.

Track testing is seriously time consuming, and does require a professional, talented, driver. We have taken it to this level and will continue it.

This is where a number of early Xa coilovers are going. We are working with a great TEAM of people building Camaro SuperCars. We test with them for no other reason than we miscalculated and waited on a SEMA car. We did make it to the Final round, but came up just short. That left us waiting for a retail Camaro, but our builders have them so this is what we do with them.



The video will be processed by YouTube shortly. It will be a HD quality video when fully processed. Let it cache as it makes the vehicle look slow until the download has been one once. This Camaro has ONLY Xa coilovers, radius rod bushes and a special alignment. It is set rather low. It did pull more than 1G on the road course. It is not completely sorted out. We will tweak one or tow more things and then we will be next to perfect.

I can't say who or where, but I really want to thank them for allowing me to participate in their two day testing session. I am not easy to work with. I like it my way, because it is the right way. THANKS GUYS!!! You were all AWESOME!!!!

As soon as they give me a green light, I'll let you know who and where.
