This is what Pedders coilovers look like:



Set to height they came set with. Used rack spacers. I was worried that the back dampening adjustment knobs would be hard to get to, but all you have to do is reach through the wheel, turn them, and count the clicks. Very easy. Just make sure that you're turning them the same way, since they are mounted differently in relation to how you're looking at them when you do it.

Does anybody else has uneven ride height in the rear?
I noticed the rear drivers side is a little higher than the rear passenger side.

I will have to look at the car with Pedders, I noticed this when I had my Sportlines on though. Always bugged the **** out of me...never figured out what it was either.

I don't think I have that problem now though.

Please take a look of your car and let me know, I also have a little negative camber on the side that sits higher than the other

Thanks! I'm going to try to install the steering rack spacers tonight! Then the suspension is pretty well done. On to engine stuff then I guess!

The passenger side is a piece of cake. The driver side is harder, not because it's any different really. It's just that it's hard to get to.

Tip: After doing one side, don't tighten it all the way back down until you get the other side on. It'll give you more slack to work with that way. I figured it was common sense until I witnessed somebody do it and then have a ton of trouble with the other side. lol

I would like to add this to the above...do the driver's side first...since it's harder, you will get the frustration out of the way and when the passenger side is done and it's all done, you'll be happy.

I do agree with the above totally. That's how I did it.

Thanks for the advice guys. I will do that for sure. I have an air ratchet which will hopefully fit in and make it a bit faster!

I was hesitant at first to lower my car due to the fact it was our only car and did not want a harsh ride for my daughter. I just recently purchased my wife a ford escape so the car is mine to do what ever I wish. So my first thought in springs are the pedders. My big question is to those that are running 245/40-18's or bigger. Do you guys have any rubbing issues? I'm running 245 falkens on stock wheels and no problems on stock ride height. With the pedders what is the biggest tire people have ran without any problems?

I am running 235/40/18 on wider 18x8.5 wheels and have no problems (offset is not for cobalts on these too...35mm)
I'd give it a shot. Don't think it's gonna be a problem with the stock wheels
