"Moon's" SS on Pedders
Here is a pic. of ole "4 PLAY" after Pedders installed, a few hours ago.
Slight problem on rear. With shocks loose, suspension did'nt want to drop, enought to change springs. We had to loosen up both susp. arm bushing bolts to get it to drop. after that, bird nest on the ground.
I like the stance, and did'nt seem to affect the ride much, amd I went over some pretty narley roads, on the way home, to check it. Damn sure corners better now too. "Moon"

Just means your bushings are still in good shape.....shouldnt be much of a ride change, its said they stayed pretty close to original spring rates..guess GM got that part right..
Looks good!
Need to use one of your paint schemes now to go with those wheels....no, those were full moons...

I'm finally getting the look I wanted.
The wheels: 18"x8" Givonna #901's on stock tires[only have 7400miles on stockers]....now best part...$400.00 shipped to my door. Added centric hub rings yesterday while we were changing the springs[$35.00]. The pedders dropped her just right all the way around[getting the things in the bottom of the rear spings was a real *****[until we ground some off the things].
Getting close to being done. Going to add a front air splitter[after I check curb heights and drive way clearances], then probably going to do racing stripe in 3m Di Noc carbon fibre vynil[temporary, until I decide paint scheme].
Going to have her done by mid Sept., when I drive her back to N. Texas for my[ LOL] 50th class reunion[to show my friends that I never really did grow up]. "Moon"
