A few questions about lowering springs.... on the wall about buying

I am on the wall to buy Pedder springs or not.

Will pedder springs make the stock TC struts/shocks wear out quicker?
Will 1" lower negative affect traction, CV joints, etc?
I thought H&R springs were closest to stock, Is Pedder closer to stock TC rates?

Thanks
Brian

If your about having a great handling car then Pedders are for you. Dont miss out on the great deal going on (group buy). \/

Your shocks and struts should be find. I've been rolling on Sportlines for 30K miles now and my stocks and struts are still holding up great...and I pushed them to the limits many of times.


This will be the look / stance you'll end up with.

Thanks for the pictures/links, I am asking the above questions so I make make my decision to buy the pedder springs or not. IMO they are reasonably priced but with me it could be a while before I decide to install them. My subframe connectors are yet to be installed I have owned them for 6-7 months. lol If they will sit on the shelf...that $300 will look better in my pocket.

I would do the Pedders long before HR. Struts will be fine
