so we still have a few weeks before the kits will be ready to ship out? hey pete, when these kits are installed, does the camber get messed up on the car? im having backstreet motors do my install here in ohio. will they be able to take care of the camber with this if there is alot? i just dont want to have it so bad that its ruining the tires after a few thousand miles. also, i had my deposit put down last year for the special pricing, will someone call me to paythe rest of the balance or will they just charge the credit card i used for the down payment?

Yes, you will get a call before the Xa kit ships. You will also get an email.

Backstreet is one of our finest Dealers. I have Backstreet setup my alignment for track days because are very very good. When you install your Xa coilovers a complete alignment is in order. In fact, we have developed a set of rear camber and toe eXtreme Adjustment Bolts and Washers to get your Camaro exactly where it should be for street, drag strip, autocross of road course or road course use. They should be ready to ship[ some time next week. Here is a sneak peek at the ZETA Rear eXtreme Camber and Toe Kit.



The OEM adjuster provides less than a degree of adjustment. Pedders eXtreme Camber and Toe Kist provides more than 2 degrees of adjustment range. We also go one step further and provide jam nuts to lock down the alignement bolts.

You cannot even begin to imagine what a great car you own. I have professional race car drivers telling me my ZETA G8 is easier to drive fast than their race cars. I have my speed warning set to 80, 90, 100 and 110 becuase I just seem to drift by these marks. 140 feels like 80 and that will get you in trouble fast.

I made a modification to my exhaust using a 24" chambered muffler to replace the OEM resonators. As many of you know, drone in the AFM vehicle is an ideosincracy of the exhaust. The chambered mufflers have my G8 with NO drone and quieter than OE. It is as quiet as a Buick going down the road. So quiet that I notice wind noises that were imperceptible with the OEM exhaust. Combine dead quiet with stability and predictability and speed limits seem more like slow motion devices. It is really hard to stay at legal speeds without using cruise control. There is just no sense of speed.

Now when I want to disturb my neighbors, I press my Quick Time Performance button and run off the 24" chambered exhaust. There is a significant gain in RWHP and the exhaust note is pure American Muscle. I liked it so much, my GTO now has a QTP cut out. Take a wild guess what my Camaro will have?

Too funny. You stole my tech question about a camber adjustment and if so are the shims going to be available?
That is a negative camber adjust correct?

ive noticed that doing 80 really feels like im doing 40. its bad. hopefully the tighter suspension will give me more of a sense of the speed.

Our tag line is No Bull so here it is with No Bull. Your Camaro will feel slower at higher speeds because it will become so much more stable and predictable. Running at 160 MPH should be thrilling, it feels like 55 MPH. I am ashamed to say my wife has poked me for coming off an expressway ramp at well over 100 MPH entering the road with my kids in the car. She is absolutely right and I should not be traveling that fast any time but especially with the kids on board. So help me it just doesn't feel fast at all. The car is no where near the edge.

That is the downside to a Pedderised ZETA. It makes you feel indestructible which is not the case. If anything breaks at these high rates of speed, if an animal wanders onto the road bad things can happen really fast. I try hard to be responsible and confine my triple digit driving to track days. I am old enough to know better or maybe I am just older.

sometimes driving fast isnt bad, as long as your a good driver. i think someone can go 100mph and still be totally in control and aware of their surroundings. especially if the car is done right and can handle the situations, i dont see anything wrong with it.

We should all drive responsibly, and within the boundaries of the law, even though that may be difficult to do at times.

I can however; confirm that 100mph does feel like 50 or 60mph in the Nickey Super Camaro project car with the Pedders Suspension Kit and setup.

speed limits are just a recommendation.
