Just finished installing the Pedders XA coilovers today and while out test driving, I took a couple shots. Unfortunatly it was on/off rain all day, so not so clean... Enjoy!

After the demize of my RSTI, I needed something different to get me away from Subies for a while. Since I have a kid, I had to have a back seat, so that meant a vett was out of the question, this just seemed to be the a good project to build.

Bring out the rears about another 10 or 15 mm and the fronts another 5 or 10 and it will look so sick.

The rear offset just looks a little too pushed in, otherwise it looks fantastic

The gto runs a +45 offset on all four corners and its really hard to get much better with out a large roll. I'm running a set of BBS LM reps, 19X8.5 frt +35, and 19X10 +40offset rear. And believe me it took quite a bit of roll to get them to fit under the qtrs. fenders were not that bad though.



I did have to roll them out a little, but I did not want to upset the body lines. The qtrs have been pull out enough to allow me to rull up to a 285 (currently 265) fronts will only clear a 255. I just don't see the need to go any wider on the and have to add spacers to keep wheel/tire flush.;)

Very nice car Scott. You certainly made the right choice going a different path rather than another Suby. I considered picking up a GTO recently myself, ended up opting for something a little cheaper and older (E36 M3!).

Thanks man! I was also considering a E36 or E46 before I bought this, it just kinda feel in my lap. A guy needed a truck I had and we traded.

looks damn good...are you gonna paint match the front lip?
Had it paint matched and it do not look as good as I thoght it was going to once it was on the car, so matte black it went for now.


Saw it at his house yesterday. Super nice.
Good to have seen ya buddy! Glad ya stopped by!:goodjob:


wow never seen on with a front lip, that actually looks pretty dam good!
It's from a company called Whiskey Tango. I haven't seen many options for front lips at the time I found them.


how does it handle? I wanna ride
It feels pretty responsive now. I started out with the damping turned to full soft to check for bumps to make it rub if it was going to rub, never did. I'm still playing with the camber/caster to find where it the most responsive. I need to take it to get corner balanced soon.


looks great..the rear appears to be slighty lower then the front tho:thinking:
It's the fender/qtr wheel well cut. The rear acually sits 1/2" higher than the front.

Car looks great, but I think a little taller tire front and rear would go along way, as far as aesthetics go.

I think next will be an LS6 intake manifold, sway bars, and better brake setup. Get thru into spring and see how much more tire she needs.

It took Pedders 2 months to get them to me due to back order statice, but man there soo worth it!
The SAP grill on my are the CF ones. I paid less for these than what they wanted for the paintable one were. They where blems. Inner mounting tabs were not up to there standards, so I got them for the lowlow. I fixed the 2 tweaked tabs and hold great!

There gone. They didn't fit. Brandon already had someone on these as soon as I found out the fitment wasn't gonna work. Sorry man. Go see Brandon @ Allpro and buy up the rest of my int. trim pieces. You can get them for the LOW LOW price!

Ohh Gotya. I might be going to allpro soon to see if i can get the heatsheild off your car, mine is cracked in about 6 places. Oh I put the swaybar on a couple day after I got it from you. What a differance! I do understeer more now though, I need to mess with my setup some...

LOVE the new stance! it was definitely worth the wait for the suspension.

Was I the only one who didn't see the outline of the kid in this pic in the glow from the lights... just curious...

I understand, but I'm not a fan of throwing a ton of money at a car that I am unsure about. CCW wanted over $4,600k for 19"s on a car that I plan on road racing and like I said, unsure if this will be the car I keep or not. It has to learn how to turn and not just go straight to stay in this family. :D
I'm use to a lot lighter, smaller chassis. I think the car has a lot of potiencial and that's why I'm trying to watch what goes into it.

Got to take it out of the garage for a few minutes tonight and man, it's so much fun to drive now that the suspension is on it. Unfortunatly I don't get to drive it much due to work. Hell, the wife has gotten to drive it as much as I have. LOL!
