Here is a thread where people are posting pics of their cars with the Pedders installed: https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/show...hlight=pedders

No Problem. You can PM Josh or Sean from OTT with any questions. They are definitely a great vendor for our cars, one of the best. This IS a hell of a deal and provides the best setup possible for our cars. As for time/labor I would say if you know what your doing and you take your time, I would say 2 hr - 3 hr.

depends if you have ever done it before. If not put aside a entire day just in case, specially if you do it alone. If you have help or have done it before, or air tools, maybe 2-4 hours.

boricua - you will notice a difference but it wont be as effective as pedders springs.

Yes, it should feel more natural when driving. Plus it is almost a "for sure" thing that after driving on SSC springs for xx amount of miles, your stock struts/shocks will end up going. The TC setup is said to be a "perfect match" for our cars and on after market springs should hold up very nice.

Well the tc/ss and pedders is the "perfect match". I dont know the spring rate or drop of SSC springs so who knows how they will act. But the struts/shock upgrade will help a little yes.

^ this is true. You can't go wrong with the TC setup + Pedders combo. It might prove to be a little different on SSC springs but that'll be something you'd have to see for yourself. I myself decided to drop my SSC springs and I went ahead and picked up a set of Pedders and TC strut/shocks. Completely up to you though, I think the only downfall of keeping the SSC springs with the TC setup is that you are missing the handling upgrade that comes with the Pedders.
