As was said. You dont need rack spacers. However its a really good idea. To be honest on what springs its most advised with well any of the ones that lower you the most would be the ones its most advisable with. So if your looking not to do spacers than keep the drop mild to moderate and you will be fine. From what ive seen with sportlines id advise rack spacers with them.

Backordered? Where'd you order from? I ordered mine from OTTP and they were at my doorstep like 2 days later.

Sportlines?

Let me google that for you

MPx should be the first one. They have a great price and they're a supporting vendor.

i think they have the best price whats the price diference between them and ottp?
and im thinking if they dont get them ill probably just get CM's for half the price since the ssc's

I got my Pedders on a group buy so you'd have to compare yourself. Here's OTTP's link. I'll let you do the rest of the work.

yea 380? if you get them with the FE5 suspension package from CED theyre more like 300 so idk
80 bucks is a big difference especially when i can have stock performance from the CM's
has anyone installed them? it says its a 1 inch drop up front but is that enough to only have that two finger gap?

What is the drop with the H&R Springs?
Do H&R stress the stock struts?

Any lowering spring is going to stress your factory ****. I have B&G's, got a good drop and doesnt ride to bad
