Pedders suspension install at Haddad motorsports
Just thought I'd share the joy, I had my suspension installed today! I have not had a chance to really test it properly but it now "tracks" thru the corners I was able to try on the way home. I am posting pics of the install. Thanks to Mike Haddad and Kevin, Hamilton, and all of the crew at the shop!

I had a discussion with Mike about that, I was running the GM spec "track" alignment from the video which is more aggressive. He said to try his less aggressive setting for DD and to reduce tire wear. The car is now a lot more responsive thru the turn. You can definitely "feel it" in the steering. I need more driving but what surprised me is I thought the ride would get stiffer with the new springs, but it hasn't even with the shocks in the "race" setting. If anything the car is now "smoother" if that makes any sense?

Your ZL1 is a beauty man. Glad you like the way it turned out. How did the lower tire PSI turn out?

The dirt is from his G8 monster he has been slaving over.

It has been great so far. I checked it this morning completely cold with my gauge. The rears were fine. Thanks for the chat at the shop! You car sounds wicked! It was nice to see a Camaro with CF on it finally to see how it looks in sunlight |
