I had SSC springs on my LE5 and they rode nice for the first few months before the ride got super harsh...I've had Pedders on my LSJ for a little over a year now and still ride great...My only complaint with the Pedders is the rears look like they have been through the war after this winter..

Hopefully not, I replaced the front struts at the same time I installed the springs because one had a busted braket. I plan on changing the rear shocks with Koni yellow soon. Hopefully that'll do it!

It's been about 2 weeks since I installed the springs. They seem to have settled down a bit, maybe 1/4'' - 1/2" or so. The ride also feels more rough and harsh than it was. I seem to get rebound in the rear, I don't know if that's because of the bump stop or because my shocks are old and tired in the rear (130,000km). Either way I'd like to order a new set. Should I go with Koni yellow or stock FE5 shocks? I heard many good comments about both of them. Anyone has a winning combination with SSC springs?
