Here's my car on track with Pedders. It's a sedan, and I think this is on a straight, so probably a little taller than normal at the front, due to acceleration. On 235/40-18 NT01.

 

oh thanks josh, make me feel bad about myself for the rest of the day... . btw Blazin is not on pedders... haha

 

I think I am going to get the pedders and strut package the CED offers. Will I be able to install them in my own garage? Or do I need special equiptment?

 

spring compressor is the only thing special, rears take a whopping 10 minutes. and compared to the last car i changed springs/struts on (04 Mercury sable that took 4 hours with rust)... this is a BREEEEEEEEZE. Me and a mechanic did it in about an hour, that included 20 minutes of trying to figure why megans are tight not to the bumpstops in the rear, could do it in 30 min, again i think with 2 people air tools and lift. Give a couple hours if your in a home garage.

 

Hmmm that might be a problem I don't have a spring compressor handy lol. Everything else like jack and blocks I hav tho.

 

i ordered my pedders 12/29. they should arrive in another week and a half!
currently have sportlines. want something better and idc it raises me a tad as my resonator to my gmpp exhaust is low because im lowered. scraped everything.
and with a powell hardcore sway im getting soon my car will ride like a boss!

 

You can rent them at Autozone, Pepboys, etc.

 

Hmm hopefully somewhere in my little town has one I can rent . Don't want to drive an hour one way to go rent one.

 

rears are easy... EXCEPT the amazing huge royal pain in the ass that the bump stop and lower cup are to get in the pedders... it took all of 20 minutes to swap everything once i realized i had to dremel them down...

btw, the wiggle you talk of, i thought that was the tires rolling over in the rear... its always bothered me and makes me think theres a 50 lb weight swinging back and forth.

 

I still lul everytime I see these things flying around

 

So I will have to do some work on the bumpstops?

 

i didnt on my megans but you will on pedders.

my question is am i going to have to go koni to get a decent ride on a 2.25 drop? im on stock fe1's and i expected the ride to suck but if im not careful ill bounce and break my neck on the ceiling!

 

Pedders aren't harsh. FE5s definitely aren't harsh. The Konis offer better damping which when dialed in correctly should make for a less bouncy ride with the Pedders than the FE5s. Still very streetable, these are not coilovers

 

^I said above, before I jacked this thread, im on megans, which are harsh and bouncy on stock fe1 (no kidding) im wondering if fe5 struts will be enough to calm these down or will I have to go koni?

 

I never said I paid attention...
I'm not familiar with megans but Konis are adjustable and will work with any spring. That's all I can say, not gonna comment on megan/FE5s

 

Well anything should be better then my stock LS setup I'm on now

 

Not to jack the thread too much...

Ive always wondered if ride comfort and performance are synonymous at all. To be honest, Im looking for a very smooth ride since its my DD and I dont put in much time at the track. For ride comfort, and not being able to afford coil overs, would pedders still be best?
