Haz l33t wheelz.
uggh, how many times does it have to be repeated. these are not ordinary drop springs. They enhance the handling characteristics of the car. Lower ride height was a nice side effect.

"hello?"
"oh yes sir, this is the common sense police"
"uh, ok, what's the problem"
"you're using too much common sense sir, and we're going to have to ask you to stop"
"what the f**k?!"
"have a good day sir"

I wish people would stop acting like they are stock ride height.
Front is the same drop, rear is higher by about a 1/4 inch.
I might copy and paste this post over 9000 times so people can stop talking about how these springs don't drop a car at all.
******* shitballs.

The drop difference between pedders, and sportlines, is about a 1/4 inch in the rear.

i never said they didn't drop the car at all. i just don't think they drop the car very nice. i'm picky about the way a car looks when its lowered. my question is, is everyone buying these springs because they are popular and end up never putting their car in a situation where they are needed. our cars already handle like a go-kart from the showroom floor.
They drop compared to stock.
They ride as good as or better than stock.
The dont bottom out and coil bind on the second bump on rough roads like drop springs from the others.
The wont break like the others.
You can do what you like If you like the car dropped more at the rear than the back, then perhaps you would prefer a lo rider. Get air ride, and stay out of the "people with pedders" thread coz u are not part of the discussion, you dont want to be here . You said so.
Go karts handle differently to Cobalts. You get out of a 1960 Buick?

As mentioned multiple times, if you just want a drop, don't bother, but if you want handling, then you wont care to pay the price and wont even care if it drops at all or not.

I saw Maven's pics of his cars on them, but qwikredline's pics are no longer available...I'm really curious what they'll look like on a sedan with 18x8 wheels and 225/40 or 235/40 tires (I'm thinking about going with a 235/40 for my summer tire). I have MSR 045's that I want to get some tires for, but I don't know if I'm going with 225/40 or if I want to go wider on the tires with the same sidewall series (meaning taller overall to close up the gap).
So many decisions....
And, these do handle a lot better than anything out there? I'm delivering pizza for a 2nd job now and I want a car that handles well and doesn't feel like it's going to fall apart over speed bumps, pot holes, etc. The Pedders are what I want correct?
I want to get SS/TC struts and shocks soon (may as well save up for the Pedders as well) and install it all with my steering rack spacers and engine and tranny mounts. Also going to possibly add an FE5 LNF front sway to compliment my OTT street bar.

So, just to clarify...I have Sportlines...2" front 2.5" rear...you're saying that the Pedders are the same in front and right around 2.25" rear? If so, I will definitely be getting these.

so people generally agree that pedders either keep or improve the stock ride quailty in terms of comfort and they improve handling and drop it?

People dont buy pedders because they are popular because they are not. They are more expensive than the others.
