Your car must be pretty low to have a short shock? or your using the lowered shock from boge?

have pedders shortened shocks in my ef, the gsr ones, with their lowest springs but the back were trimmed so it sits level. nolathane bushes in everything, 18 inch rims and it handles like a dream. probly 1 out of 2 ppl who ride in my car comment on how smooth it is. i highly recommend peddars as they've helped alot, also mermaid suspension.

Should install it all in the next couple weeks and will give feedback once its all in.

but strange how that works

Picked up my Pedders springs, camber/caster kit and bump stops.

I noticed that there is a height difference when i put them side by side in the rear spring which is about 8-10mm longer and that the rear spring is a thinner steal than the front by about 2-3mm but front spring is alot harder to compress than the rear???

Front spring is red and rear spring is grey.

Also the pedders dude said that there no difference in there touring spring and sports ryder as they made the touring spring to compete with king springs and there prices but ended up with the same thing.

Just a few pic's

There is a lot more weight over the front of the car than the rear so they'll be a fair bit heavier duty to compensate for that and give even ride height and characteristics.

Oh yeah, I'm also running the boge shortened shocks and they've stuck phat by me for the last couple of years with no dramas.
