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

80 mph at the top of 2nd?!
You have gear for days!

I'm still waiting on Pedders to get their act together and send me the remaining parts for the XA Street Package. It doesn't sound like the remaining parts will be shipped until the 25th-26th so my plans of having this all installed before the drag strip is shot. Kinda blows considering I placed my order 2+ months ago.

Anyways, that didn't deter me from installing some parts on the car. I was able to wrench on the car last night with @Murlo to get the strut tower brace installed.

Here are some pictures of the process and results:

I'm putting together a wrenchy wrenchy session. All are welcome to stop by to help or just hang out.

I have a comfortable heated garage environment with a garage fridge typically full of beer. Let me know if you're interested in hanging out this week.

I am planning on installing the remaining suspension / bushing parts now that the cruise is completed. I have the following items to install still:

• Front / Rear XA Coilovers
• Front Radius Rod Bushing
• Sub Frame Bushings
• Diff Bushings
• Alignment Kit
