People with Pedders - ?

How harsh are Pedders on our struts/shocks? I know sportlines and other brands that lower the car more tend to wear out the struts after a while. So has anyone had any problems from Pedders with theres? I really want to pick up a set but don't want to have to replace that other stuff later on.

I guess they're least harsh cause they dont really lower the car much at all

Do you know what the specs of the drop are (how many inches)? I'm not looking to slam it. I just want a more aggressive stance with added performance.

peddars will give your TC a better stance than it is now, not as low as sportlines or what not.
Handling is best with these springs over all, or atleast most.
They have been tested and the reviews are good.
I dont have any specs although id like to see more pics than just the 1 or 2 ive been able to find since ill be doing the TC struts/shocks and peddars in the near future.

Thanks for the pics. They look really good. I like how it's more aggressive looking but doesn't slam the car. I'm not really trying to scrape the paint off my front bumper. I do wish it would lower the back a tad more to level out the
car

That is why I went with them. I've seen too many of the other springs with saggy rears. I had pedders on a previous car, I was shocked to see them available for the cobalts when I started looking

If the rear of the car was lower like so many other car it wouldnt handle the way it does.

I dont like flat cars, I hate cars that are lower in the back. The dropped nose rake is the way to go

The general consensus based on my searching is that if you are looking for a low stance go with sportlines but be prepared for a crappy ride, but if you want improved handling with not too much of a drop go with pedders.

My vote: Pedders.
