Any opinions?

I too have a 2010 Camaro. I went with the Koni Orange in which I purchased from The Tire Rack several years ago. This is what I did...

OEM Strut Tower Brace with the TPIS strut tower bracket kit, Detroit Speed Engineering 1.5" Lowering Springs, Koni Orange STR.T Struts, Z28 rear LCA's, Black Magic rear 32" sway bar, 1LE front sway bar w/ DSE end links

The ride is awesome! Feels like a go cart and on rails.

I'm not happy with koni , I have pfadt springs and when I hit a bump it hurts my bones . My originals felt better

No consideration for Bilstein B6 struts and shocks, any reason why no one is talking about this option??

Mostly because that wasn't the question. That said I love mine with the Bilsteins.

I can't find the rear mounts anywhere. I am told Regular SS mounts, 1LE or Z/28 should work.
Did you get the rear strut mounts with yours?

On my 2002 Camaro, I did Koni orange with Moog SS-front and Moog heavy duty-rear springs (OEM height, not lowered) and my street cornering is awesome.

Installed my Pedders this past weekend and I'm taking it for an alignment tomorrow. I like them. Firmer than my 155k mile-old stockers that weren't leaking. For some reason the mounting holes for the sway bar end links were too small and had to be drilled out. Not a big deal, but it would have been cool to know before I put the first one in the car and had been charging my cordless drill's battery.

I have a 2014 Camaro 1le with 295 front tires and 315 tires for the rears. Any of these rub?

How do the Pedders Sport Ryders compare to the Bilstien’s??

bottletalk · 09-13-2022, 10:13 PM

curious why you guys go with struts and springs instead of coilovers? once you buy everything your not far off from a set of pedders coilovers....are you finding the struts better then their coilovers?
