Pedders Pace Car Kit
Do any of my fellow Camaro5 members sport the Pedders Pace Car Kit on their Camaros? If so, please chime in on how you like it with pros and cons. I'm thinking about getting it and I would like some opinions before I go ahead and get it.

The pace car package is a perfect blend of suspension heaven.the pros are your suspension will be more comfortable, your car will handle more than you can throw at it on the street and do really well against track cars. Adjustable hights is really nice, adjustable sway bars are really good too. There gmpp parts so you keep your factory warranty.
Now the cons...you might get a ticket because you drive faster because you want to push the car to the limits, your Mpg goes down due to the above, your significant other might hate you and thinks you are driving crazy because you are enjoying the suspension. But the real con is well there is none Yes this kit might be a few bucks more that the others but it is way worth it the quality and experience pedders puts in there parts. The dial in of the xa's make it so enjoyable to drive and it still handles great. The best feature is they adjust through the clevis and not the spring so your ride quality will be consistent no matter what the hight is. Be wise spend your Money right and pedderize |

NASCAR and INDY Car Camaro Pace Cars that you see on track have been running this kit for the last two years.
That is why we call it the Pace Car package. It is what the actual on track pace cars ran on track. The production versions have stock SS suspension, but the track versions were Pedderised with GMPP parts. I had the honor of bolting parts on some of them at Milford. The 2011 Verts for track duty were on Xa coilovers and not the full Pace Car Package. |

How do you like the HD radius rod inserts? Any NVH difference at all? I saw some warnings on the Pedders site regarding the excess wear that could occur to the steering rack and tie rod ends.

For the street I do prefer the standard insert bushings I do drive them every day, I can't give you an honest assessment of the hd inserts because I have not driven on them but pedders puts there advisments on the site for a reason, if you are not racing the car the standard inserts will make you very happy. If it is going to see some track use then they'd might work well for you. I know Pete will jump in give you best answer to your question.

Thank you all for your support and kind words. I don't have many complaints about Camro5 as a forum, but one is always at the top of the list. As vendor we cannot post prices for parts in a thread like this. That leads to a bunch of PMs sent like it is a secret. Members can post pricing, but vendors cannot. The only secret in this thread is that a Camaro GMPP Pace Car Package complete with Bars, Bushes, HD Endlinks and Coilovers is a BEST BUY for a 5th Gen owner. It is hands down the best value package available from any vendor.
These are the same premium quality parts that have been engineered to work together with a full two year no hassle no headache warranty. These are the same parts that had paced the field at NASCAR and INDY events across the country. We'll there was one Pace Car we did with Supercar coilovers, but we didn't really make that public, until now |
