You don't need help, you have the Auto V8! You just mash the pedal! I am jealous, very jealous.

Re: G8 Suspension and Handling Upgrades (Pedders, Pfadt, Nitto)

Just took the car out for a quick joy ride with the new arms installed. I can definitely notice a difference. Not so much when cruising, but when the tires break loose there is a lot less wheel hop and more grip to the road.

Very impressed thus far and I've only installed a small fraction in the big scheme of all the suspension upgrades on the way.

This is true for the most part, but I plan on brake stalling my torque converter up to around 2500-3000 rpm before the green light strikes

UPDATE:

With the Pedders XA coilovers and Bushings arriving next week, I wanted to prepare the car. I'm assuming with 285 tires on the rear that the drop could have me rubbing badly.

So I got my fenders rolled this morning, and I'm pretty impressed with how they came out. Naturally the fenders bulge out a little bit more, but its quite smooth and well done where I don't feel its noticeable.

Can't wait to drop this car and install the missing parts!





Drag Radial installed
