15mm lower than the King springs on 20" rims :shock:

I doubt anyone has tried that combo but let us know how you go...

Are you trialing a new line of Pedders? Beacuse I'm sure there have been people on this forum and people not of this forum who have fitted Pedders on their Libertys before (myself included, on my MY05 GT). I did run them with 19" wheels and it wasn't too bad as I stuck mainly to street use.

I actually wanted the front a bit lower at one point, and tried to to fit King springs up front as on the data sheet Kings were lower. However there's something wrong with King's QA as the springs they sent out were higher than the Pedders so I went back to the Pedders.

pedders were right it has dropped it by an extra 15mm compared to the kings and a much better ride aswell!!
they told me to measure from the bottom of my 20" wheel to the guard and their springs should sit at 625mm which it has , sits alot better now

You may find the springs will smake the car sit a bit more level...in the rear.
Great Choice.

I have the Kings aswell. I'm happy with the feel of them, BUT! Not happy with the asthetics.
Front dropped the 30mm i was after but the back only dropped 5mm.It now sits a little un-even.
I should've went for the Pedders, i guess i got what i paid for with the Kings.

+2 on the side on picks.

I've just put a new set of bilstein struts and phat sepcials tein s.tech springs on my MY05 GT sedan - the car still a little higher at the front, but I'm hoping it settles a little. I'm keen to see how the pedders look.

The tein/billies combo is a great ride though.

That sits perfect. Most of the GT's I've seen usual sit higher at the front (like mine on teins).

Would the front of a 3.0rb sit a little lower at the front due to the heavier engine? I'm wondering if it might be worth me getting pedders springs to replace my teins in the front end. But wondering if due to a ligher 2.0t engine it would still sit higher (than the pics above).

Nice ride Todda :D

currently just have the stock 17's but will be putting on some 18" rota gravels - tbSti look-a-likes. I've considered 19's but can't find any I like...plus trying to keep it modest.

I'll give my teins a few weeks to settle in and see how it looks with bigger wheels, but may consider trying on some pedders.

with 17's if u measure from the bottom of the rim to the bottom of the guard , the pedders springs will sit at 590mm and thats listed for the 4 cylinder engine
with my 20's they said measure from the bottom of the rim to the guard and it should sit at 625mm and its spot on
