pedders super lows???

MADED-6 · 13-09-2008, 09:38 AM

anyone have pedders super lows in there car i want to raise mine as it scrapes on alot of things and i think i will get pedders super lows as i can get them for pretty good price but if they arent quite low enough ill go for kings super super lows.
the car sits on chopped springs all round and is very low so just want it up a bit and more a better ride.
cheers josh.

I've got peddars equiv to superlows all round, looks good, handles great and isn't too low that it scrapes over everything.

V3RSAC3 · 13-09-2008, 10:09 AM

I got Pedders Superlows all round, and it scrapes on most things, but i want to go Ultra Lows all round (Super Super Lows) ...

( depending on the day though the car appears to sit at different level's. sometimes it looks dumped, others looks far too high :S )

MADED-6 · 13-09-2008, 10:18 AM

yeah that looks pretty good.
is it still bouncy or does they ride pretty good.
i have been told that the ride quality is much better with pedders than king springs.
your car looks realy nice stealthau.
what shocks are u's running to.
cheers josh.

Your cars drives the way it does because you have chopped springs. Car won't bounce with proper lowered springs. Recommend you go for Kings or Lovells rather than Pedders if you want a nice ride. Plus for not a lot of money get yourself some Bogh (spelling) short struts and shock to match. Lifetime warranty and nice ride plus made to match lowered cars. Pedder is exp and rides like a truck (VERY HARD). But if your Monroe's are in good nick they should be OK with superlows, if you go to Ultralow you will need shortend struts and shocks.

Not sure what you mean, as I said I have Peddars all round and the ride is good. Wasn't expensive either, $160 for the all 4 springs, around the same price as kings.

StealthAu · 13-09-2008, 10:26 AM

Peddars sportsryder, it is a bit stiff but not too harsh.

V3RSAC3 · 13-09-2008, 10:27 AM

Car is bouncy, but still sticks to the road ..

Im running Monroe GT Shocks

MADED-6 · 13-09-2008, 10:29 AM

the sportryder are they a shorter body shock.
and do pedders do ultra lows?
if so i might get ultra rear and super low fronts.
and if that doesnt fix the ride then ill get new shocks but the chocks arent that old and they are monroe gt gas aswell.
fair302 i have rang pedders and they are actually $10 cheaper for the 4 springs than king springs.
and yeah i no thats why i want to put proper lowered springs in.
cheers josh.

Yes they are a short body shock. The phot above was days after it was all fitted, it has come down a bit since then. I personally wouldn't go ultras in the rear and super lows up front, might look good but will also promote understeer when pushing it.

Just edited original post

Fair302 · 13-09-2008, 10:33 AM

You could go super in the front and ultra in the back. Pedders say they won't supply because illegal. Might be OK with shocks in that setup.

MADED-6 · 13-09-2008, 10:40 AM

dam man thats cheap as i got quoted $210 for the pedders and i get kings for $220 and they retail for $160 an end (as in front and back).
whered u get urs from?
i just want to know what to go i want the car to be low but stiffer as it bouces a fair bit atm and scrapes on rough roads when u are doing 100km/h so its not good.
cheers josh.

MADED-6 · 13-09-2008, 10:46 AM

ah ok then i might just save me pennys and get shocks and springs and make it ride real nice.
got any newer pic's of it now that it has dropped a bit.
u can pm them to me if u want.
cheers josh.

StealthAu · 13-09-2008, 10:49 AM

I'll take some later

Nostalgia · 13-09-2008, 10:50 AM

MADED-6, do you have any pics of your's on Chopped spring's ?

MADED-6 · 13-09-2008, 10:57 AM

it does look lower in person and doesnt have much ground clearance.
it tucks a fair bit of tyre at the back and if u have the wheel turned u cant fit ur fingers inbetween the gap from tyre to guard.
i dont want it heaps higher than that but a little bit maybe an inch at the back and and inch at the front but more want it to be stiffer.
cheers josh.

Nostalgia · 13-09-2008, 11:05 AM

Damn, that's low. Here is mine on Chopped.

5.0 ED · 13-09-2008, 11:47 AM

Mine has kings in it and there too soft, i'm pretty sure there only supa low's, and yet on way driving along rough roads i take everyday it bottom's out and hits the road a fair bit.

MADED-6 · 13-09-2008, 12:50 PM

is urs irs?
cheers josh.

StealthAu · 13-09-2008, 12:52 PM

Nope, live axle, just a series 1 povo pack.

StealthAu · 13-09-2008, 02:25 PM

Honestly, it could be anything fitted to it, I took it to peddars and paid them to do the work. Never saw the parts

5.0 ED · 13-09-2008, 03:18 PM

The pedder's super lows are a thicker heavier duty spring than the likes kings superlows correct?

mattp · 13-09-2008, 03:51 PM

Aren't Pedders just rebranded Lovell's? Are they blue? I've got King Superlows in mine with Boge shocks, and it looks and rides like a dream. Personally I wouldn't mind either Lovells or Kings, but definitely Boge shocks are my recommendation.

StealthAu · 13-09-2008, 04:01 PM

They are red, I thought they made their own but am not sure

5.0 ED · 13-09-2008, 06:29 PM

What are thess boge shocks i keep hearing about? Any info?
