Coilovers ?

ok guys im kinda in a tough spot right now iv been with out a car for a week bc my
K-sport coilovers took a crap on me. right now im stuck between buying new stock suspension or buying a new/better set of coil overs
im looking at pedders or BC coilovers, they seem to be the best ones but i also thought the Ksports were good so what do i know
any opinions would be welcome, or if anyone have the front suspension from an ss/sc forsale let me know

bump a little help guys

the last post from maven pointed out that the market of el cheapo coil overs are basically all remakes of the megan stuff, including pedders coil overs.

the best for performance and reliability? pedders with TC struts and shocks, little money good results. You want a lo rider? get air ride.

nah not looking for a lowrider just a nice looking ride with the handling to go with it
were would be the best place to get the TC shocks and struts and do they work for the ss/sc like is every thing compatible

you can buy them from Gene Culley at GM Partshouse he has a balt 2.2 s/c or Crate Engine Depot they have good prices also...direct bolt on for ss/sc. The Pedders springs you can get from Over the top performance they are on here also...pedders with those shocks are awesome for ride, performance, thewhole enchilada...Maven started the trend

That sucks man

Good thread though, im in debate as well over the stance set up or pedders w/ tc struts and shocks. If you get the pedders setup with tc s&s your ride height will be about the same as the eibach pro kit (as far as I have researched) and I really like my ride height with the sportlines but im at 55k and its time to change it out

hope you get this all worked out man, if i was you i would not even attempt to drive even a short distatnce. you could end up doing alot more damage. if you cant do yourself have it towed.

so i guess im not the only one....... i know your pain

well i was suppost to update this but i never got around to it
after closer inspection it wasnt anything major at all it was the pillow ball mount that broke, once i got it off and got the stock parts back in i called K-sport and they looked at it and they sent me 2 new pillow mounts free of charge i replaced them in about 5 min and there good as new
