Pedders G8 Solutions

Just as the GTO was a significant step up in the GM performance coupe tradition from the F-Body the G8 is a huge advance from the GTO. There are differences of substance. The G8 should be a smooth ride luxury performance sedan. If you are expecting ZO6 Corvette flat corning, you bought the wrong car. If you were expecting a BMW, the G8 is close and Pedderised may be better.
Judging the G8 by the spring rate, damping rate or body lean in relationship to older less advanced vehicles would be a mistake. The bone stock G8 is a more advanced design that performs better than the previous generation GM / Holden / Pontiac VZ chassis. The VE is one of the best-balanced products on the road today. Suspension is always subjective. What is too hard for some will be too soft for others. The G8 in GT trim with a Sport Package feels too light and floats by Pedders standards. The car leans an enormous amount, but does hold the line through tight turns on OE trim. High speed cruising feels light. It is not in any way unstable, but it is too light by Pedders standards. An AMG is rock solid. The G8 in OE trim isn’t an AMG – until you Pedderise.

Why should you spend your hard earned money on a Pedders bush? Good question. This video radius rob bush demonstration will suffice until you can get a test ride / drive in a Pedderised G8
