Lowering Springs

[Tattooboy]

Any body know the difference, £560 fitted from the Fish - Pedders, £498 fitted at Walkinshaw. Both offer full wheel alignment etc in price, what the difference in makes of springs provided, quality etc? Thanks

Seriously though i dont know the difference. Lowering the R8 is one of the things that must be done so i think we'll do it the same time as the headers. Therefore we'll be using MF as Walkinshaw dont do headers (plus we love MF)

Mate check whiteline suspension i can get them for my CV8 for £200. Iam sure u could get them fitted and iam also sure u could find out what geometry settings are and anyone with a good laser machine could set it up if the Fish wont do it for u?

ours has got coilovers,its low if you'd seen us when we got our car home I was at the side on my knees checking it would go over the brow of our drive, it was so funny, my big fat arse up in the air

I did the exact same thing only my arse is bigger than yours
Teresa what do the coilovers cost and are they in addition to peddars lowering springs. Sorry but i've not looked into it much yet.
We are having some building work done on the house (new bathrooms, utility room etc) so we'll get the builders to lower the drive five inches at the top if poss. We can only just get it on at an angle as standard. Must spend the next hour browsing MF site

Mel pedders coilovers, you can adjust the stiffness from a knob in the boot and under the bonnet. Also you can set a height to suit you, the ones on my ro are set high enough to easily get into and out multi story car parks and the stupid ramp at derby uni going into the carpark.

You could also speak to driftworks about hsd coilovers.

Think the Pedders are only £260 for supply only so by the time you pay £60 odd quid for a full laser alignment not really worth getting your hands dirty !! Plus i'm lazy, hard enough getting a trolley jack under on stock set up, let alone getting it out again once lowered

Mine's not like that either

[gsd2000]

Im greedy i have 2 the ali and the steel version. The 3 ton steel one is what you wan on the ro as the ali one is rated at 1800kg and struggles compared to the steel one. The jack also have a very high lift height an costs around £65.

Highly recommened

Mel, you dont want coilovers, you want our suspension kit, springs and dampers. Didn't we have this discussion a short while ago
