I was at their open house last Sat. and put my G8 up on the Dyno. They also installed my Borla cat-back previously. When I get headers I expect I'll be talking to them again. Nice shop and good guys. Also some serious cars hanging around there. It was nice to meet you as well RB Designs I wish I could have gone for a ride in your G8. No, probably a bad idea because I wouldn't enjoy my car again until I was pedderized and procharged.
What are their shop rates? I need some pedders stuff installed but don't want to spend stupid amounts of cash. Their shop is freaking awesome...

I'm pretty sure they run about $100/hr
ex. (est. only) Street II Pedders about 10-11 hrs
Track II Pedders about 19-20 hrs
They have a website with contact info and some videos as well. Just google Modern Muscle.

It's the closest Pedders dealer to me...

Yeah, me too. About 40 minutes from the house. What pedders pieces were you thinking about? (Just curious I'd like to do some suspension mods eventually)
My strut bearing and bushing is trashed on the front left so new bearings and bushings on both front.
Perhaps a sway bar front and rear and a couple other small items.
I may just do it myself though... Less money and then I learn more too.
I already did the rear subframe bushings.

If you have a place to work, you are in business. My driveway isn't the greatest place for projects like this. You are absolutely correct if you can do it yourself, you'll learn a ton. If you have a buddy who's good with this type of thing it can be a big help too. Most of my friends are no help at all when it comes to this type of thing.
$100/hr labor rates in THIS economy??? I am shocked that they are able to get that.
My buddy is an ex ASE GM tech and his family owns a shop with 3 hoists...
lol
I DO NOT like to ask for his help though. I don't like to ask people to do this sort of stuff for me on their off time...
