Pedders 220035's installed - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

So, after finding one of the last remaining pairs of 35's, and having them before the car arrived, today they went in. Rear end is now level and so far she drives the same. I love the look for sure. Measured almost exactly half an inch lower now in the rear. Must say I'm very happy. Shout out to Dropspeed for the recommendation on these.

If you are changing ride height, you do plan to go in for complete front and rear alignment. Ride height change will mess up caster/camber and toe in front as well as rear since the rear suspension is independent.

Did you scale the car to be sure cross weight is correct and car is balanced?

Yes, alignment appointment is for this week. And it will be a more aggressive alignment as we autox and she's not a daily driver. And these are just coil springs, not coil overs.

They look a lot like ZL1 rear springs to me and the ZL1 rear spring lower the back of the car a 1/2 inch to.http://www.camaro5.com/forums/attach...1&d=1344259390 . the ZL1 rear spring is on the right hand side in the pic.

They do look similar. The main difference being the Pedders are linear in rate vs. the ZL1's being progressive.

With the 3 coils wrap close together at the top of the spring and the other space out not so sure that a liner rate spring you got .

These are the same as the Apex springs, and they are progressive sir.

Edit: Post #65 confirms they are progressive.

Actually, Apex uses the PFadt springs, not Pedders.
Pedders are linear in rate, same as factory.
Post #7 and on down.
