Pedders low kit ride height

[SS55RO]

Hi all,

This is my first post but planning to continue to be active here!

I was just wondering if anyone knows the pedders low kit ride height (measured from the bottom of the rim to the bottom of the arch with 18 inch wheels)?

The webpage says 595mm on the front: https://pedders.co.uk/pedders-lowered-suspension-k...

But my car is 595 on the front and pretty sure it isn't lowered?


Ps. Has anyone got an aftermarket wheels for sale?



Cheers
Alex

He only had it for around 8 weeks. Been through all the receipts and there's nothing for a lowering kit. Have had a look underneath but the suspension on there is looking pretty tired if it is aftermarket.

Cheers for the reply. Is yours a VXR? Heard they are about a cm lower stock?

Thanks Fred. That's the conclusion I've come to regarding the suspension. Thinking about getting a coilover kit fitted.

Thanks for the info about the wheels. To get 9.5s on the back, did you have to do any arch rolling? I've heard that you need to, but maybe that's just with 19 inch wheels. Also if you know your offsets off the top of your head that would be good to know?

Thanks for highlighting that. Just checked my car and they are indeed exactly like those photos

Thinking about going with these:

Only a little bit more expensive than the pedders rubber ones once you've added in the cost of the bearings from them.

Unless anyone knows of some better options?

Cheers gang, just ordered the pedders super low. My head was telling me to go with low but I couldn't help myself

As I'm about to replace my suspension, I measured ride heights yesterday out of curiosity. It's a VXR on 19s, from bottom of rim to bottom of arch was 595mm at the front.

I have the Pedders Super Low on the front, so that seems about right.

I like a bit of rake and only have the Pedders Low on the back, and quite possibly have a 10mm spacer in there too, with an empty tank my rear ride height is 620mm

I think that might put it quite near to stock rear ride height to be honest, would be curious. I have 255/35s on the rear so slightly taller sidewall at the back.

How is life with the super low on the front? No regrets?

That's good to hear. Hopefully the fact that I'm on 18s rather than 19s won't mean my experience is too different to yours

Pedders low on the rear, I’m changing these out to std height springs - there’s 40mile on these springs which I’ll be selling in next few weeks

What’s in the car in the image

What is due to go in

Woweee surely that's super low in the image? Never seen any pics of the low springs that look that low

Hey guys are you talking about the upper spring seats?

Fitted the super lows on the back yesterday. Didn't even have to clamp the new springs to get them on lol. Luckily I had new shocks because we had to destroy the old ones to get them off. The bottom bolts were NOT coming off otherwise.

For the future reference of anyone who stumbles on this thread and wants to see what the pedders super low kit looks like on a cv8 with 18 inch wheels. Pleased with the result.
