The brake pads selected by GM may be a great combination pad in terms of useful life, quiet application, etc... but they soften the Brembo feel. We choose to run a full race pad from Cobalt Friction with XR1 pads in front and XR3 pads in the rear. The difference is Pedders revolution Camaro, Side Viewnothing short of amazing. There are trade offs in terms of noise and harsh dust that we feel is well worth it given the increase in pedal feel and performance. Replacing the hydraulically damped OEM radius rod bushes will help with pedal feel and braking. The OEM bush is a rather large fluid filled bush. While the NVH properties are excellent, they are too soft for performance driving. Pedders offers three EP6578 Radius Bush Insert for Camarosolutions for this. The first is a direct replacement street friendly urethane insert for the OEM rubber insert in the bush. The firmer urethane insert removes some of the compliance in the bush improving brake pedal feel and response. Using an EP6578 is as simple as removing two bolts, removing the soft OEM rubber insert, installing the Pedders urethane and bolting it back together. Many will wonder is such a small part can make a difference ion such a large automobile. They will me pleasantly surprised on their first test drive.
 
The next Camaro Steel Jacketed Radius Bush EP6577level is a full urethane bush replacement with Pedders EP6577 Camaro Urethane Steel Jacketed Radius Rod Bush. This is one robust bush with holes and voids designed to make our street friendly urethane mimic the NVH characteristics of the OEM bush with the performance of a urethane bush. If you track your car, the EP6579 will be the most durable solution. The inserts work to reduce motion, but the basic issue of the bush remain -- it is hydraulically damped and can potentially fail on track. Pedders EP6579 is virually indestructable on or off the track. The third is an EP6579 full face Camaro Front Extreme Radius Rod Bush Insert replacing the soft OEM rubber insert Camaro eXtreme Radius Bush Insert EP6579with a very high durometer piece. The combination of bonded rubber ferrule steel jacketed bush with a full face high durometer urethane insert is outstanding. This solution is extremely firm and may lead to premature wear in the tie rod ends or the steering rack. This is the solution we have installed on the Pedders USA Camaro because we prefer the extra control. This is a hardcore option for the most demanding driver.
