Good FYI...most cars can suffer from this indeed.

Price please? I had issues with my K-Sports not being able to raise the car high enough. I know these are the lowest out there, but i had my K-Sports maxed and i was still tucking a 1/4" of tire.

I'd like to go back to coilovers for show purposes, but i need to know i can actually get some ride height when needed. Thanks

You're axles won't let you move, but I'm sure these could get there.

the Stance are super low...but parts are available upon request to keep the car higher if needed. Contact me or Stance for any details.

Saw a local member with these. He is maxed out in the rear and still LOW. There is no way i could run these out back.

Any way to get just the two front struts? I'm happy with my rear ride height.

EDIT: Would anyone be interested in splitting a set with me? I only want the fronts as i'm happy with the rear ride quality and height. The front rides great for me, but i want it a little lower, and the only way to do that without cutting things is coilovers.

Will per our phone conversation, you should be able to get different lowering brackets for the back to be higher....LMK if anything.

No only for LS1Fbody. He has a modified rear twisting beam which makes the rear of his car naturally lower than everyone else's by a couple inches. You'll be just fine with them.

Adam,

I actually ended up calling Stance to see what they could do with taller springs/different brackets.

My issue with the brackets would be that to gain the height i really just need a longer spring. They said they could do it, but it would raise the price substantially. I asked them since i am very happy with my rear ride height/quality etc on the Pedders, if i could just do the fronts, like we talked about.

They told me that was cool, i just had to make a 50% deposit for the parts and they would place an order for just a pair of fronts to the factory.

They seem to be impressed with your salesmanship though, because he was shocked at how fast they were selling hahaha.

I appreciate all of your help, you and stance have been the only ones willing to work with me on the coilover situation.

Yup, thanks haha. I was tucking almost 1/2 and inch with the K-sports in the rear. 1/4 with them fully maxed out.

It would be fairly easy to get taller sleeves for the coil perch, but then at the ride height, my upper bump stop would start to contact the sleeve, and that's no bueno. Taller springs = $$$

So, what did you modify in the back of your car to make it ride so low? Was it just for show/looks? Or was it part of beefing up the rear suspension for the track?

It was part of beefing it up to adapt to 5x114.3 hubs. It's the same axle as the one used on the Time Attack car.

1" lower ride height with full suspension travel.
