ha case im staring at my sportlines... in my room... on the floor?? if they dont work out, ill take em off an sell em

 

Oh lol didn't know that. Well if it's worth anything, I had sportlines once saw this https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/5975751-post19.html mixed with my unpleasant daily drive, I switched to canucks. Now I am happy.

 

ha its cool, but that pic didn't look very good... are they suppose to be that close??

 

eggzactly. The sportline coil bind on bumps and when they do its zero spring travel and it hammers the heck out of the car. Over time eibach springs can break, just as their rear bars do...

usual disclaimers

 

^ Trust what the man says.

 

now im kinda nervous to put them on... i guess if they dont work out i can try and sell them and go with the pedders.

 

they worked fine for me just not fine for racing lol and its not like your in area where you get rust like they do backeast and **** if you dont like em take em off and sell em thats what i did lol

 

I'm in Florida =) 5 mins from Alabama line and and 10 mins max from the beach! lol wearing shorts in January is awesome.

 

you spend about $100 less with sportlines

 

I got my sportlines for 189 on BF from OTTP and pedders is 100 for each set on there site https://secure.merlinsoftware.com.au...&Level2=COBALT

 

Thats $100 for 1 coil

Other vendors on here have them for about $350 if i remember correctly

 

check this out Pedders spring on my cobalt - YouTube

 

**** your right but from that video pedders looks a tad more roomy then the sportline

 

was someone saying that pedders dont coil bind??

 

They have no bind. Sportlines bind a lot

 

blind = compress??

 

looks like theyre gonna bind over bumps from that vid to me *shrugs*

bind = coils hitting/sitting on each other

 

thats what i was thinking and then the binding is gonna give the rough ride

 

meh i have tein on my car and they bind for sure no different than stock ride quality imo though

 

Guess I'll find out whenever I put them on..

 

That video is old. his springs were installed wrong, and I think he was like 300lbs and jumping in the trunk. They don do that under normal circumstances. Ive had Pedders for over 3 years now. Best springs there are IMO. Yeah the powder came off....**** happens. My tires wore out too.

 

Ok to clear up the video. I made it I weigh 215. I am standing in the truck and bouncing and it did this with two different sets of rear springs and they were install correctly I even talked to John about them and he was stumped as to why they were doing this and I had brand new FE5 shocks. We tried turning them and flipping them didnt matter.

 

thats your video?? and well dang... they ride ok?

 

The ride wasnt bad, just annoying when you hit the bumps and hear clank, clank, clank. And if my son rode in the back seat it was ridiculous. When I compare pedders to TC springs for the most part its similar until you get to ruff sections and then you are bouncing on the bump stops on the pedders. Especially in the winter when you have the frost heaves and potholes. I have seen some people have the same issue.

 

My pedders perform fantastic. If you want a drop go with anything other than pedders. They are all equally crappy from a ride/ handling standpoint.

Pedders handle great, ride great. You should not have any clanking with them or coil bind. Ive got no signs of coil bind and i drive the car pretty hard. Something is likely not correct if they are making noises.

We have potholes/ frost heaves here as well. Any spring including stock will not ride nicely over them anytime you're going iver 5mph.

Want a sprigng that rides great and handles fantastic, pedders. Want drop, anything else excluding stock
