im saying your not on fe5 struts(that i know of) so for you im sure it will be an upgrade where as for the lnf guys it will probablly be a downgrade like everything else but pedders.

They wont settle much at all. My passenger rear still sits a little bit higher than the drivers rear i have been meaning to jack it up and see whats going on. I know it is seated correctly but there is a noticeable difference when i stick my hand in the wheel well

I'm planning to get pedders for autox but i'm worried about the ride. my suspension is stock for the time being but i'm starting to hear that pedders are bumpy on the road. how do they ride compare to stock?
(LSJ now but planning to go for LNF shocks and pedders)

Whats better pedders with tc struts or eibach sportlines with tc struts?

I already have eibach sportlines on my balt with the stock 2008 LS struts and shocks, what I want to know is if I should spend the extra money to buy the complete pedders with tc struts and shock pkg on CED or just get the tc strut and shock pkg with out the pedder springs and just put my eibach on there. Or should I just keep what I have right now and stick with the FE1 with sportlines.

dd but im getting a new dd and want to move to forged internals w/ S3 zzp tc kit plus superior suspension. I'm already planning on buying powell hc sway bar but just need advice on which would be best for what I'm planning.

So basically my car is going to be a toy not used as a dd.

They don't. I mean, some are a tighter fit than others on the rear, so it takes a little time for them to come all the way down. But after that they still look high in the rear. But then, they lower the car evenly. At least on the TC they lower 1.5 front and 1.6 rear, so it doesn't mess up the weight distribution. It all depends on how much you care about how the car looks parked with the suspension unloaded (no driver). Personally, I don't give a rat's.

They don't lower the car anywhere near that much. I have em..I'd say closer to 1" front and 3/4" rear. They are a bit stiffer, but I was surprised to see that you can still push down the rear pretty easy. Front is damn firm. Handles very well..no clunks or bottoming out. Not bouncy either. I have OTTP/Powell Street bar and Stage 1 rotated mounts as well.
Car rips the corners and turns.
