I've done the air ride suspension...it's nice but it can be a pain in the ass. This Pedders setup is going to be my Christimas present to myself. I'm going to have the guys over at East Texas Muscle Cars put 'em on mine (same guys putting up the V6 Camaro against the Nissan GT-R) so I know my baby will be in good hands.

I definitely like the debadged look you have going on. I have something a little similar in mind for mine.

Again...props for having a sick CGM

Love the stance. I will be lowering mine and improved handling is icing on the cake.

To answer all of your questions on the PMs, yes the Pedders system is difficult to adjust in height. I've had other coilovers before that were easy. With Pedders, you have to remove some of the suspension parts in order to adjust the height, which can take awhile if you're trying a certain stance. Their dampening is great though. Lots of choices. But once again, the rear knobs for dampening is difficult to get to. Should have been able to run the lines in the trunk. Just my 2 cents.

thanks for answering my question. sorry about all the PMs. we're trying to lower my friend's camaro right now and deciding on which company to go with.

Here is the camaro sitting next to my vette. Thanks to my wonderful wife...i can enjoy my toys.

With the ride lowered like that, do you ever have a problem going up slopes? It looks SICK, but I would just be afraid that if I am pulling into my school parking lot or something (which has kinda a steep incline at the entrance to the parking lot) that it would scratch the bottom of the car...

Stance looks killer man! (You can actually see the BIG diefference with the 2 cars in the garage. The Camaro isn't that much taller than the Vette. The stock Camaro is high.)
Great job.

Great job.

The vette is lowered about 2.5 inches all around with coilovers too. When the camaro wasn't lowered, it looked like a monster truck sitting next to the vette.

On the camaro the front doesn't hit, if you go up at angle. The only thing the catches is the mufflers which will scrape a speed bump. The vette, which is lower, doesnt scrape due to the way they built the undercarriage. Under the vette, everything is tucked in. Under the camaro, too many things hanging down.

wow, that really looks good. real clean looking

JTinFL · 08-24-2009, 03:31 PM

Very cool. Loved the lowered look.

Stooph · 08-24-2009, 05:36 PM

Georgie · 08-24-2009, 05:49 PM
