I have seen positive feedback from a few people who have had this Pedders kit fitted, just wondering if the kit really is money well spent. Always difficult to get honest feedback on this sort of thing, as I will admit I would be reluctant to admit if I had spent out on something that didn't really make a any noticable difference.
So honest feedback would be most appreciated thumbup

MPSS on the shopping list, need to get a few more miles out the current rubber 1st, also planning to upgrade suspension in the autumn, so will look at the "rear end pack" at that time.

So all positive feedback so far biggrin

Not sure I would benefit from a quick rack as I don't drive the car very aggresively, yet, just looking at making the front end less vague, the Monaro is the first rear wheel drive car i've owned, so the vague feel through the steering is either normal for rear wheel drive cars, or something the Monaro suffers from, with my limited experience I can't comment on that, anyone who has owned a few rear wheel drive cars care to step in ?

I would get rid now, and enjoy the car for the summer.... Change the tyres BEFORE you do anything else to the car. Think you will like the diffrence wink Then start adding Mods yes


All imho... but do it biggrin

It's not a matter of Aggressive, it's purely down to the IF and more than likely When you get bitten you will truly appreciate the benefit of Not having to wind the wheel so many turns and Then you Will get the benefit of a Quickrack - Trust Me eeklaugh

Thanks for all the feedback on this, especially to Chewie and Mark, both of your cars are very well set up I know, but my wallet is still smouldering after recently fitting AP's on all 4 corners, so I need a couple of months before I can afford any major outlay on the car. Suspension, Tyres and Quick Rack are all on my shopping list, but in this instance I was looking at a couple of small upgrades to be done whilst I am away for a week in sun.

Thanks Nick thumbup

FWIW I bought mine last January Had a Blowout on the front in the first week of ownership and put MPSS on the rear which helped traction no end.

The front was a bit Squirmy and would follow cambers.

Went to the 'Fish to have Some Fast and Loud added and got the Response Pack and a QuikRack fitted as the OE Rack on mine was leaking when I bought so dropped the price accordingly.

And Instant Transformation, You are Driving the Car Not the Car Driving You.

Avons went the same way as the first pair so MPSS fitted on the front
