Pedders 04-06 Pontiac GTO Drag Race Strut and Spring Suspension Kit - PED-803562

The Pedders PED-803562 Drag Racing Suspension Kit for a Pontiac GTO 2004-2006 maximizes launch consistency and rear traction by enabling rapid front lift and delivering stable, drag-tuned rear control.

Instead of guessing at suspension settings, this kit gives your GTO purpose-built drag hardware: 90/10 front struts that let the nose rise fast and stay up under power, plus big-bore rear shocks and drag-rate coils that keep the tires planted through the hit and down track. Whether you are dialing in 60-foot times, chasing personal bests, or looking for a consistent setup that simply hooks, this package turns wasted wheel spin into usable acceleration.

Track-focused construction means predictable behavior pass after pass, and service-friendly OE-style components make installation straightforward for a qualified shop. The result is a repeatable, confidence-inspiring launch without the guesswork of mismatched parts or street-biased tuning.

FAQs

Is this kit intended for street use?

No. It is labeled Competition Use Only and is intended for drag-strip performance, not daily-driven comfort.

Will this change ride height?

Front springs are stock height; rear drag springs typically increase rear ride height by 0-5 mm to support weight transfer.

Do I need an alignment after install?

Yes. Perform a four-wheel alignment after the suspension settles. Use OE specs unless your track setup requires otherwise.

What problem does 90/10 valving solve?

It allows the nose to rise quickly and stay up under power, helping to keep weight over the rear tires for improved traction.

What exactly is included?
