pedders suspension

[Madgarbage]

hey guys just wondering what your oppiinions are on pedders springs and shocks, they'l be going into my ae71, its a daily/wateva i feel like car. has anyone used pedders before???? if so how do you rate them :2thumbs:

[riojin]

only experience is on a commodore.

only thing outstanding about them is if you go to a pedders shop they install them cheap for you. appart from that theyre average

pedders are just a generic part re-branded(monroe i think.. or something like that)
not really worth it, there are a lot better brands than pedders

Pedders stuff is really bad. It isn't geared toward people actually wanting performance out of their cars. It's just cheap crap.

well they did all my bushes for me for 1100 i think, is that exp? note: all bushes, took them 2 days aswell?

Gas shocks belong in the bin or in a commodore which is basically the same thing, no good in a small car due to too much rebound and no real dampening.

KYB Oil/gas assist are a good cost effective shock.

[puzzigully]

yeah go KYB if your on a budget.

phedophiles are just shit, same with monroes

i had pedders suspension in one of my prev ae71's and it was good for daily driving with humps n stuff...

[Joel-AE86]

Pedder shockers range are the same as Monroe...My bro in law makes them all on his CNC machines in the Monroe factory!

He also makes shocks for Tokico as well!

[Madgarbage]

okay so i should get kyb shokies..... and ajps springs?????? do kyb make shokies for ae71???

the only thing pedders are good for is king springs :lol:

not really worth it, there are a lot better brands than pedders[/b]


ok well i will say this from experience and confidence as i used to work for them...
THEY MAKE ALL OF THEIR OWN STUFF!!
they have a plant in melbourne that make it all in house and the springs are individually tested unlike king with the batch test that they do.

and yeh pedders do stock a lot of sprinter gear.

wrong

there is nothing wrong with what they do but

their balljoints etc are either 555 or Power max

Industrial springs make springs for pedders here

some of their shocks are monroe

all those products are fine, i personally hate monroes but yeah

[rb27dett]

i would say that monroe , pedders , king are all shit products , they dont know the first thing about a good suspension package , KYB excel G (short stroke) is the way to go if ur on a budget and plan to use lowered springs.
i would recomend AJPS 6kg for the springs , they were nice and stiff for skids but not to harsh on bumpy roads . (y)

[Madgarbage]

well that was the plan man but i cant afford to change my struts and what not to house the kyb shocks, there made to suit a ae86, god damit i hate povo spec lol

[Felix]

save abit more, well worth it

Badly damped, undersprung. Heavy initial bump damping, no midstroke and fark all bottoming resistance, inadequate rebound. Seems to be the same setup over qute a number of cars...theres a reason...
If you want a low car that feels sharp at low speed, on smooth tarmac turning at intersections, its fine. However, hit the twisties and you'll find you have a flop understeering, body rolling, tyre squealling pig; that chatters over small bumps like its rock hard and crashes through the travel to the bumpstops on bigger hits.


Summary, Shit grip, no body control, not enough rate, horrible horrible ride quality...Just rubbish. Never been in a Preddaters Sackrider equipped car that a stocker wouldn't run rings around
....I'm convinced the reason for this shit setup is solely to make it feel better around town at low speed (where most cars are driven) and make it feel harsh and sporty to match the silly pricetag and imagineering.
Oh they don't last either. 1 year to 18 months tops in a daily driven car before the shocks go off.

[eastcoastdrifter]

haha My dad got his suspension done at Pedders for his Commodore and are still going strong after 4 years but I guess he only drives A to B
