Pedders Extreme X Coilovers
Discussion
After years of resisting temptation I have finally succumbed, and next week I'll be taking the car to Monkfish to have this fitted along with the Road Response Pack (very exciting!!).
The question really is, how low should I go? I was just wondering how many owners have this stuff fitted, and what sort of experiences they've had with bump stops and ground clearance at whatever drop they went for? Pics would be good too
I've done a rough photoshop myself to get an idea, which I reackon will be about 35mm?

Dear AJ,
it depends on how how much damage you want to do to the car over slowbumps or entrance ramps and how good your back is. As a guide on my CV8 I found Pedders super low (not coilovers of course) both too low and too stiff (or with too little travel) for normal roads. I've since had Monkfish fit VXR springs while keeping the Pedders dampers and this is fine.
You may prefer a more, ahem, sporting compromise. I'm getting old

Jet

I think it also depends on your exhaust system, mine is very low but I have long tube headers, cats and rear system and can't take any standard squared off speed hump without a scrape, have to straddle a pair. but I live with it, a pain when the traffic is busy as have to wait for the oncoming traffic to pass first.

dont go to low .. part of my big spin , was down to front right catching the inner rim 
Thats because you have front spacers! Because you have the "wrong" suspension
sorry for the hijack
will i need the spacers with the new wheels ??
Yes, because you still have the "wrong" suspension. Offset on the new wheels is the same.

Not being iffy here ,but this could be very important information for potential buyers.
