Rumors say pedders copyright king springs n if they cant do the job they bring to somebody else to install ...

I think kings springs are more well known for developing springs for any type of car, new or old.

A search would be good. Try searching for "pedders" :)

By the way, aren't Pedder Springs basically King Springs rebadged and spray painted red?

Thanks! So kings are the way to go! Oh n anyone interest in the spring rate on those spring, I had got a reply from Kings! They said Front is 170lb/in n rear is 160lb/in! But do kings have different springs for stivo or they use the same springs on all zze rolla's cause the part number the gave me appear to be the same as the 1zz's one!

then I will have to wait n c if pedders gonna tell me there spring rate or not! If they were only 20 bucks dearer then I think red will go better with silver car! Beside who know what they can do with trade price, maybe I should ask them tomorrow! :D

I honestly dont know if the Pedders are rebadged Kings so what i'm about to say may not be relevant anymore.

However, not so long ago Pedders were seen as selling some of the 'firmest' springs on the market here in Oz, this would support the reason why they might be kinder on your shocks than Kings. I personally have kings myself and honestly they have not changed my ride quality anywhere near as much as I thought.

Best way to describe them is firmer with a little less absobtion. On the plus side, the car corners flatter and is more willing to change direction.

I'm happy with them!

Well, I have driven a few pedders fitted cars (I assume they were pedders since they were red) with 17inch wheels, they can go over 25km/h speed hump like a standard car without scarping wheels. Can ur kings do that? :blink:

Yes indeed, a few Melbourne owners have swapped from kings to pedders (kings killed their shocks), and yes there is a difference, maybe different spring ratings. I have driven both, even though pedders may be rebadged kings, they feel a lot better.

buy coilovers. More money now, a ****load less money later. Depending on how much you drop your car, ride will be stiff and jumpy, and you will wreck your shocks superfast.

dont say i didnt warn you guys about buying springs. Put simply they're the cheap option and you get what you paid for.

remember dont spend money to save money

I've got Pedders on my car and what I've heard from Toyota techs is that Pedders are better fitted for Toyota shocks than Kings are. I've been pretty happy with my Pedders, I thought that is was a little harsh at the start but after sitting in a Kings car, I feel like mine aren't too bad at all.

if you go fast enough over a speed hump...say 100km/h.... u can land upside down and you're wheels won't even scrape :P :P :P

U seem to be the only one on this site have pedders fitted! Btw I am a toyota tech but I don't even know which ones better! :lol: Most of the customers comes to the dealer had pedders fitted, so don't really know much about kings! :huh:

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
