Definitely not.

OTTP is the only company that can get at a better price IIRC.

Right now it sounds to me like if you're wanting more of a visual mod and a softer ride, then sportlines may be more of your calling. If you're wanting better handling and an almost sportline appearance/drop then Pedders are the way to go.

Honestly, if you're wanting primarily appearance and straight-line handling, then maybe sportlines would be more what you're looking for.

It sounds like Pedders are more for the opposite... not so much drop and better ride/handling geared towards road courses and DD response.

Edit: Just thought about this, but if you're wanting ridiculous drop, look at some of the other spring threads. Some other brands are even more aggressive in their drop than sportlines. You may have to start worrying about stuff probably though (bottoming, suspension strain, wheel rubbing, etc).

Oh man, it's a blast. Some places allow you to hop in other people's cars (if you ask them of course) and can compare rides/styles.

It's as much fun if not more than a theme park, but without the ticket cost and the long lines.

Okay so i'm getting confused. All this bickering back and for has me scratching my head lol. I am leaning towards Pedders, but I never autocross, rarely go to the drag strip, but I want a decent visual drop but most important is ride quailty as this car is my DD. Now Maven and others, do you belive that Pedders have a better everyday ride than sportlines would?

Have rode in both, the pedders have an overall better ride than the sportlines.

The Pedders are very very controlled springs, and the car never seems to get unsettled, it is the sportlines that do not like sudden change or rough roads.

My car has skipped with sportlines.

They are definitely not the best handling spring out there.

As a matter of fact, they are worse than stock.

So far the only drop spring that offeres better/more controlled handling is Pedders
Nuh huh.... the SSC's have a VERY close to stock spring rate! Hence why I got them!
