He gave you all the answers haha, i don't understand why you don't see that.

These springs were not designed as lowering springs, but they do lower the car.

They improve ride quality to as good as or better than stock.

they handle better than any spring on the market for these cars.

Do you have any specific questions? Because there is no way to convince you if those 3 statements don't cut it.

actually if you read back that doesn't answer any of my questions. "because they're the best" doesn't do it for me. i need reality, not a brochure.

well, what specific information are you looking for?

You can't just demand an answer without first asking a question. This isn't Jeopardy.

That's your question? Haha, we can't give you answers if you don't ask the correct questions.

You ask for help, tell us we aren't helping you, then tell us to have fun. Super mature.

We do. We are. All of us who have switched to Pedders are very happy. On the track, the stop watch dont lie: Pedders are faster than these springs: Eibach, Ion RL, SS/SC, SS/TC. I didnt try H&R, B&G or SSC...

The only questions you asked where...

just curious...if pedders are srtrictly for handling. how many people actually use them to their potential?

Are you wanting a roll call on everyone who will be using them to there potential?

basically qwikredline is right.....sorry the comparison of springs id not even close to what the pedders springs are. ive driven the turbocharged cars with all different springs....the ONLY springs that improve handeling are pedders and the eibach pro kit with pedders having the upper hand. the tc struts and pedders is a pretty unbeatable combination of parts. yeah you might not have all the rates and everything in front of your face but yuo do have people that are suspension experts telling you what is what.......

you say your picky about ride height from lowering springs....the real question is do you want a car that looks awesome or a car that handels awesome or both? your options....you could go h&r eibach sportlines or b&g springs they provide an awesome drop but fail when it comes to handeling.

you could go eibach pro kit or pedders....the drops not so great but the handeling is superior to all.

option 3 is the most costly. go with coilovers. you could contact anze peneske or ohlins to get you to build a set for 4-8k which will out do any other coilover on the market but they are RACE ONLY! you could go with stance for a decent price but i believe they need a stiffer spring in the rear.

my solution to you is go with stance coilovers with custom spring rates since you want a nice drop and handeling. just remember just because your nice and low doesnt make a better handeling car.

Really? Are you that dense?

Pedders have been shown to be the best springs you can buy that aren't coilovers

Personally I don't want to pay the price for coilovers and I don't want to deal with the hassles of maintaining them and I want the best handling that I could get. The springs that met those requirements were the Pedders.
