Well, I finally got the majority of my parts installed:
Koni adjustable yellows, Pedders Street I, and Pedders +5/16 coils. I must say the difference is remarkable, with no further rubbing against my staggered 19's in the back. It's hard to explain the difference, other than the fact that it feels so much more rock solid.
Unfortunately, the installer was unable to put in my Hotchkis swaybars, due to the fact that they didn't have the tool, which they said only GM generally has. Any feedback on this one? Midas did the installation work for me.
Anyway, another question. I see on the inside of my right front wheel a lot of grease/oily stain splotches all over it. Did they possibly do a bad job on one of the front struts? Or maybe it was overspill of something. I'll probably
take it back for them to look at.
There are tools that only the Pedders Guys have, and others that some dealers and all Pedders dealers have. The job can be done with out, but it's a good idea to use them
As for the grease your talking about, I have a track 2 on my car, and i have no greasy splotches, where do you have them? and have you talked to any of the Pedders guys about it?

They are all over my front right wheel, on the inside of the lip. The only work done up there was the Pedders bushings, and the Koni struts. I would suspect the strutwork, but who knows. It could just have been fromt their work, although it seems to be accumulating more.
Have to take the car into my dealer for an alignment and some other stuff tomorrow, I might ask them.

Sounds like they may have gotten strut tube fluid everywhere. got pics?
Way to go! Wish I could do that now -- but those upgrades are coming. Enjoy. As for the fluid, just have the shop review their work. Might be a ruptured strut -- but I doubt it.

omg...MIDAS? I hope your Midas is better than the ones here in So Illinois. We have a bunch of shadetree rejects for the most part here. I wouldn't trust them to chjange my oil!
if you have the time suspension stuff can be done by the DIYer. i did most of my back end stuff last winter on the garage floor, inner and outer control arm, sub-frame, sway and shock bushes, koni adjustables and Hotchkis sways. Pedders is expensive for just poly bushings. i used Super Pro (they and Noltec are arguably better) and Energy bushings. on the front the radius rod bushing is a 20 minute job and Super Pros were half the price of Pedders ($120 vs $240). bushings add more control and a nice feel to the car.

to say i am not at all impressed, My steering wheel now has a bad vibration,I had a modified version of the street 2 installed at waukegan tire and i have Car was pulling to the left, Which was fixed. I spent 3600.00 on pedders suspension and my car felt better b-4 the install. Also had tie rod ends in back bent which i dont know how that happened, That cost me an additional 650.00 to repair. I wish i would have kept my money,I dont think the upgrade was worth 2 cents. Very unhappy
if you listen to the Pedders zombies you'd think it was the best stuff ever. altho a lot of people have been happy with them, they (as you point out with your empty wallet) are way over priced and most of the stuff is unnecessary unless you race the car.
