Pedders offers 3 more StreetII kits for the G8. Can you say sway bars!!

[dms]

PEDDERS discounts our kits for your satisfaction. With that said, I have recieved tones of calls and emails on guys wanting StreetII kits with sway bars. So now we have 3 more. Here they are:

PEDDERS STREET II PLUS NO DROP
7/13/09 MERLIN STORE P/N G8 STREETIIPND
The Street II includes all the bits in the Street I and adds Pedders Gas SportsRyder dampers at all four wheels. The G8 delivers with oil and air basic dampers from Monroe Australia. They are acceptable units on most cars, but the G8 and you deserve better. Pedders GSRs are nitrogen charged twin tube dampers tuned for greater control. Since the G8 arrives sitting rather tall, we conservatively drop the ride height with slightly higher coils rates. You bought the G8 as a performance sedan and not to be a rock hard suitable only for the track toy. Everything we make for the G8 keeps that in mind. It should drive like a European sedan that cost three times as much -- but keep the passenger compartment comfortable for the longest trip. You'll find you GSR damped, SportsRyder spring and bushed G8 to do that and more. Ride quality is more composed than OE and the handling is excellant.

I'm really considering the Street II no drop kit. Maybe even this new one with the sway bars. I live in the SF Bay Area. What are the recommended shops in the area that I can purchase and have the kit installed?

[Panzer Leader]

Mike, thats great, retro the discount to those who ordered the exact kit last week. Now that would be a great stimulus package. BTW car was checked today at Brian Harris all is well so far. Noise is gone so I guess the suspension "settled in." I am taking it on a road trip to DC next week. Heading through Tenn. and Kentucky, should be interesting. Thinking of going on the "Dragon's Tail". Thanks again and Kudos, Chris
PS
Get those other parts that we discussed engineered and produced soon.

The 1st post shows the XA package without a sway bar package. Their website also shows the G8 XA Street II Plus package that does include the sway bars.

[Night Train]

That's some good deals. I wish that I had waited. I have the Street II drop. I ordered the sway bars separately. Go get em guys!

Jeff

One of the things about us is that when we see a problem, such as the rear adjusters, we will make efforts if we can to fix it. The eccentrics in the rear for the G8 are weak and may be good for 2 alignments. Pete went thru a bunch of them on his G8. Not only are they weak, but their range is very limited. The range on our links are significantly enhanced for a greater range. So a double win!

You should call Rich at Back Street to find out if he quoted you the pricing before or after we added them.

So depending on when you ordered the kit, I think will depend on if you get them or not. Tell Rich Mike says HI! Back Street is one of our Best dealers!!. their committment to their customers is outstanding, not to mention their knowledge base as well. We could not have achieved the 1.05g skid pad ratings on Pete's G8 without them

Hope this helps

thanks

Now part of the challenge of a ZETA platform is balance and control. There is a big difference in handling improvements with adding sway bars, when other parts are updated to be able to really experience the real power of our bars. I am not sure if we will have a basic touring package with bars. You really need the critical bushings in the package at a minimum. Now the Xas are so seriously good, it is OK to have the bars with them

[Night Train]

If I were going to do it again, I'd go for the XA.

[Ktlplxm]

Sorry about that. Didn't mean sway bars, meant STB... Had a brain fart, was telling a guy earlier that it meant Strut Tower Brace not Street/Track Bars.... damn stupidity is contagious

[08G8V8]

If I were going to do it again, I'd go for the XA.

I really want to do the XA's, but I don't know if I can wait 2+ months for them to come in.

Are the shocks/struts too soft and you are looking to stiffen it up, or just the ability to vary the stiffness for different conditions? Or, are you looking to drop it further/less?

I'm curious so I can help make my decision on which way to go.

I'm just impatient! I like to mull things over until I come to a decision, and then I want it, NOW! I mean I spent almost 4 full days before I first looked at my G8 and then went back for a second test drive and to purchase.

I just can't come to a decision yet on which setup to go with.

Analysis thru paralysis. Unless you are going to some special track event, what is the honest difference other than excitement and anticipation, which I totally understand, what is the difference between 4 weeks and 6 weeks.

I feel that the car could be stiffer. Not exactly too soft but honestly, I expected more. It has great performance and great handling. But, in my mind I thought that it would ride like a sports car. The XAs may do that. Don't get me wrong, the Street II was a nice improvement.

The Xa's wil make it about as sporty as you would like. I can tell you this becasue of the serious adjustability of the dampers

Well 6 weeks I could do. Looking on Wretched Motorsports page, they state 8-12 weeks for the XAs. Then once they arrive, an install needs to be scheduled.

Its the same difference between having a hot girl and waiting weeks on end, thru constant chatter, whining, and pretending to care when she discusses how intuitive her cat is, just to find out if she really REALLY does that little cool thing with her tongue... lol

1-1.5 months is a while to wait, especially when you have an extremely tumultuous schedule. Unfortunately I cannot even tell you where in the US I'll be in a month or for how long. I will purchase these in a heartbeat ONCE they become readily available

And although quality and support are great, time is never irrelevant. If the quality is there, support is not really an issue, whereas the time spent enjoying the product is directly proportionate to the overall satisfaction.

actually its paralysis through analysis..sorry just had to say it LOL...

well I went with the track II no xA for the simple reason that everyone I know who has bought the xA adjusts (probably to a similar ride as the track II) than never touches it again. (not to mention it is a pain to adjust the rear settings) I'm not trying to over-generalize, but I know that's what I would do. And for the couple times I will go to the track, the track II will work great compared to the stock suspension.

I do not doubt at all that the xA has a great niche for those who need it, but it just wasn't me, especially for the extra coin and wait.

Just my 2 cents...but Jeff already knows how I feel lol

[Ktlplxm]

That is a good point though. After getting my set-up on the different f body's and GtO's i never touched them again

[Tempest2000]

I ordered my xa kit in may and last I heard the xa's were still a month out and so was the strut tower brace...

I'm hoping mine comes in soon I try to be patient, but 2 months plus is a long time to wait especially when I had to pay the full amount up front of which the xa's make up the majority of the money...

Hopefully mine will come in soon I ordered from wretched.

Best I can tell everything is drop shipped from Pedders based on my shipping labels nothing came directly from wretched...

[Ktlplxm]

Hate to hear that. thats blows

[Panzer Leader]

Yep waiting on the front tower brace myself. No big issue though. Would like to have had it before running the tail of the dragon.

[Tempest2000]

strut tower wasn't a big deal as I plan on putting on a maggie next year and it doesn't work with that, but it would be nice to get my shocks in before summer is over :(
