Pedders springs

[L33 LEG]

I've searched for ages and can't seem to find any pictures to help me so thought I'd start a new thread.

I'm after lowering my monaro. Don't think I want coilovers (although might change my mind). Was thinking of going for the pedders kit. Has anybody got pics to show the difference in low and super low on a vxr? Everything online seems to be on coilovers or cv8 on springs.

Thanks

With those pictures you can definitely see a difference but in life I don't think it'll be as low as I'd want. Nice that it gets rid of the arch gap but doesn't look that low for me. I have been preferring the super low route but don't want to regret it. I've always had my previous cars scraping on their arse but was meant to leave this car standard!

I take it the pedders shocks are a lot better than standard vxr ones? I am wanting it more for looks but would be nice to get rid of the boat like handling at the same time so hoping they will do the job.

Thanks for the replies. I'm trying to stay away from couplers this time (don't ask why because I'm not even sure ha) so trying to see how low the extra low is. I'll be fitting the pedders shocks as well so it's good to know they're a lot better than standard.

I'll keep searching and hopefully make my mind soon. Either super low or extreme coilovers.

Looks stunning thete.

I think ideally I'd want the front of mine the same as that and maybe 10mm higher on the rear. People who have had super low how do you think it compares to the car above height wise?

[L33 LEG]

I've just got the standard headers for the moment so I'm guessing there's no issue of them catching? I've found pics of vxrs on the low springs and they don't look anywhere near as low as I want. I really didn't want to go down the coilover route as usually I prefer a normal shock set up better but I've never tested pedders so I've no idea if I'll be happy with them or not.

They're not that much more to buy though so I know I'm going to go for them ha.

[L33 LEG]

Thanks for the heads up but although headers are on the list for things to buy it's quite a way down the list and could be a while off yet ha.

It's a shame there's never second hand parts for sale because I wouldn't mind testing some super lows if they were cheap enough.

Do you need spacers or anything different with coilovers? Do they come with shorter drop links?

[L33 LEG]

Fellow cutters member, glad you've still got the monaro. Still looking nice!

The more I think about it it makes more and more sense to go down the coilies route then at least I've got the options of height and dampening.

[L33 LEG]

That looks a lot lower than others I've seen. Looks spot on there. I'm really stuck on what to do now

Saying that though looks like it's parked on a curb. Don't suppose you have any other side on pics have you?

[L33 LEG]

Does look a stunning car and certainly looks to be a decent drop. Looks like I'll have to do some research again now

[L33 LEG]

How much do you want for them? Can you pm me please. If they're cheap enough I could at least try them on to see if I like the height and then go from there with shocks or coilovers.

I've been thinking that low at the back and super low at the front would be the perfect drop but haven't seen anyone done it before. Have you got pics or your car?

[L33 LEG]

The front doesn't look too low there so I think super low is the way for me. Thanks for the pics.

Can anybody confirm that springs for a cv8 will fit a vxr? I know the shocks will be different but found some pedders super low but are from a cv8.

[L33 LEG]

Thank you for those pics, exactly the pics I was after. Looks stunning. Super low doesn't look too low at all.

However I've been thinking of putting my car up for sale so no need to lower it but I'll see if I change my mind.
