Same here!

I notice you guys without TC's are pairing the Pedders springs with TC shocks/struts. I thought that if you use lowerings springs with stock shocks/struts, it makes them go a hell of a lot quicker than normal? But I know Maven and the rest of you have a hell of a lot more knowledge than me, so I was trying to get some insight!
EDIT: And you guys say that the ride with Pedders will be a little smoother than with sportlines? I'm looking for a little performance, but apperance. So Ride quality is very important to me snice its my DD.

Very similar to stock. Has a lot more control and tightens up nice when you get it over on the edge. It has a wee bit of harshness but that's expected as it is a lowering spring. I had sportlines on my old SC and these are nowhere near as harsh, the coils do not touch each other and don't bind the coils as a result. The excellent TC struts are allowed to do their job, they are a little more money but easily worth the cost.

No issues at all. The fronts are straight forward, mount the rears as maven has them posted in his pics and all will be good.
