Drop spindles are great....for trucks.
On a road car, if you're going to drop the car, 99% of people will go with a lowering spring and a shortened strut to match. To get the best handling and ride you NEED to get a strut that is valved to match your new spring rate. Oh, and a two inch drop on this car will tuck the tires inside the fender or just plant the fender on top of the tire. It'll be slammed and ride, handle, and probably look like ass. |

I have a 85 Fiero with 2 inch Belltech dropped spindles (they were offered for Fiero's for a nano-second back in the late 80s) that allows the use of the stock front springs.
I've owned another Fiero with 2 inch shortened springs front and rear (and a three inch chopped top , unless the pavement was smooth as glass that one did ride like an old truck somedays. I figured the main reason the 85 runs smoother is because of the stock springs even though I replaced the shocks/struts with Bilstein and polyurethane bushings too. I'm also wondering if that fancy air bag suspension system (ridetech.com) is going to be offered for the 5th, but that's big bucks too. |

What will installing your Street II package on the Camaro do to its factory warranty?? If it will affect the factory warranty will it affect all or partial?? Will Pedders have an equivalent warranty??

the arent going to void your powertrain warranty for installing a suspension package. they only stop covering the parts that you put on.

As a former GTO owner, I have a lot of experience with Pedders. Their stuff has a strong warranty and you will get a whole hell of a lot of dealer support. As with all modifications, if the aftermarket part caused the warranty issue, that part of your warranty definitely won't be honored. But if your radio shits the bed or you drop a valve and you have only have a full suspension, you're fine.
