Pedders rear coil?
- Thread starter Maharsi
- Start date
Thx for taking the time nico,
I'm a normal daily user, that want good handling, i don't go on track but would like to try, I'm looking toward the funniest build of the car for driving. I like to turn fast and all, but not in a challenge style(auto-x). So I'm more toward "aggresive" comfy daily driver, that want to make the most of the car while keeping it ok for daily use(relative-comfy). I'm thinking that if i feel the rear coil compressed too much while normal use, i won't be happy with the CO. I like the stance of the stock sonic, just want lower for stability (no bodyroll), better CO for handling and comfort, also to get rid of the plastic stability shaft. I think the 8kg/mm is way too much for a daily use, so i'm trying to decide the stock 3kg/mm or an in between like 5kg/mm that Pete(director) of pedders suggest. ATM i'm taking the in between could be perfect...
what you think? I don't have alot of experience in this kind of thing, it's my first "build". It's why i seek so much experienced people!
What about thoses who already have pedders?
thanks!

According to the numbers you posted for the eibach Springs it looks like the fronts are about 33% stiffer and the rears are only 16% stiffer.
Do you think pedders would just sell the rears with a 5kg spring?

Hi everyone,
I got my pedders installed! My car now is really low.. and that "body roll" is almost gone. the handling is great and i'm almost happy with the result. I wonder if some1 can help me now... the guy who installed the CO said that if he install the rear "height ajustement part" (see picture) the car won't drop for more than 0,1-0,2 inches... Of course he tried it at lower setting possible.. then had to get them off to get the car drop. In front all went well tho... Does any of you guys had this problem? does Pedders make a mistake with my rear coils?
Also, I got a weird high pitch noise (like slack bolt or washer) happening when i run over medium crack in the road.. i tried to touch every part possible to be accessed but found nothing... Does the pedders CO make this noise? I'm pretty sure its on the rear only.
Finally, the guy did not put the right nuts on my Enkei... I wonder if i get off one by one nuts and replace each one before removing the next one if it the wheel will stay ok? do i need to lift the car for that? like for changing the wheel...Do i need a new alignment?
Thx for help again, I'm happy to be in pedders family ..my car hug the road now
just wonder why it does not fit perfectly....
later
i will post pic of the car tomorrow!
edit : Just tho, is it possible to remove the lock/ajustement(chromed pieces) completly and only put the red part to get it ~0,75inch higher? road are bad here... i would like 0,5 but i don't see how i could do that... since i think i must leave at least 1 chrome piece which would make the "height ajustement" at maximal drop to 1inch higher that i'm at the moment...
