Pedder Coilovers

Postby Laps » Tue Feb 09, 2010 10:51 am

Booked my car in next Friday for some Pedders Extreme XA coilovers.

$1600 + fitting...

10% discount on parts if you are an NRMA member also...

I have the money to pay for it.

Anyone had these fitted to their car? Any thoughts before I purchase something I may regret?

Probably because no one here has them. Perhaps you should be the first and let us know how it is.

There's always going to be a guinea pig ... err, pioneer, for some of the not so main stream products. Good luck and be sure to take plenty of pics and write an extensive review! :P

These are now installed.

Very happy with ride height, smoothness of the ride is awesome, and the car handles so much better...

Definitely wont be regretting this purchase!

Sure have.

My mate has a wrx which was lowered on springs, about the same height as what mine is, if not higher... Anyway, there is this one bump in the road, that when you go over it in his car, it feels like u just ran up a gutter. We went over that it my car, feels like my stock suspension, perfect... :D

HI

I had them fitted about 6 months ago.. Night and day compared to stock! They are great for the street but probably a little soft for track. Overall a good product.
Cheers
