Benefits According to the Manufacturer
Eliminator
• Eliminator kits are tailor-made for the '04-'06 GTO. Lovells designs and manufactures its own shocks, struts, and springs. The result is a suspension system properly tuned to provide a firmer ride and exceptional control without being harsh. Springs can be supplied in stock, 0.75-inch drop, and 1.18-inch drop.
Weekend Warrior
• GTOs suffer from poor brake-pedal feel. The original radius rod bushing is soft and fluid filled. It absorbs most of the braking load as the car wants to keep moving and the wheel tries to stop. This results in excessive movement of the front suspension when braking. The factory bushing has no caster adjustment. The Lovells radius rod bushings X82047 correct these issues. These polyurethane bushings allow you to adjust the caster. This upgrade will dramatically improve braking and handling. Installing the N92350 cross-member bushing and N92616 differential insert will significantly reduce wheelhop, especially in M6 cars.
• Weekend Warrior II includes the ball joints, rear radius rod bushings, and polyurethane front control arm bushings. GM requires you buy the entire control arm at significant cost. This kit allows you to properly rebuild and upgrade both of the front control arms at a fraction of the cost of a new one from GM.
Steering Rack Refresher Kit
• It includes new inner and outer tie rods, boots, and a Super Pro poly rack bushing. This will restore the steering rack with better than OEM components to perform and last longer. Professional installation is strongly recommended. It's a bargain when compared to purchasing a replacement rack. Available now for most GTOs with a factory steering rack. Coming soon for very late production (KYB) 2006 and GM warranty-replacement racks.

Benefits According to the Manufacturer
Strut Rub Repair Solution
• These are maintenance items required by almost every GTO with over 40K on the odometer. They help with tire wear, brake feel, and performance. The GTO is prone to front tire-wear concerns, primarily on the inside edges. Some are due to strut-to-tire contact, but mostly poor control of the upper strut position and the excess lower control-arm movement on braking, cornering, and acceleration.
• This kit offers the method to significantly reduce front tire wear. A safe strut-to-tire clearance factor is the width of a pencil. Also, it is critical to maintain appropriate factory or manufacturer tire pressures.
Touring Package
Coils, dampers, bushings, and bars for a more BMW-like GTO. Our GTO Touring package will keep all the best qualities of the GTO OEM suspension with just the right amount of edge.
Xa Extreme Package
This is a complete solution that includes coilovers, bushings, and bars. The Pedders USA GTO runs laps on the most technical roadcourses like a Corvette, consistently pulling over 1g. This doesn't come at the cost of ride quality. The Xa features 30 adjustable bound and rebound settings that are easy to identify with a positive click being felt when turning the adjustment knob. Ride height is adjustable and the ride quality remains the same at minimum and maximum drop thanks to an alternative adjustment that doesn't affect the spring's preload. Pedders also would like to stress that you are to never use an air gun on the Xa coilover as it will damage the part and void the warranty.
