Just fitted Pedders Extreme XA coilovers and the adjustable antiroll bars.
The Ute now corners a lot flatter. It's firmer than before but not harsh and the shocks really work and keep up with the deveations in the road surface.
Many thanks to Monkfish and Roger for fitting advice


I can't wait to really push the Ute on the track driving

Looks good, have you done much with the ride height?

The creaking I get is from the uprated Polyurethane rear subframe mounts (rear end pack)
I'm going to speak to the Fish tomorrow about this to try and find a cure

My car was lowered before so set the same at the front and 20mm lower at the rear. Measurements are taken from the bottom outer edge of the wheel to the wheel arch with 18" wheels - Rear 590mm. Front 575mm
This pic is with 17" BTCC tyres fitted, there 40mm smaller in diameter
