Pedders Coilovers

[matt36415]

Hi all, I am looking to buy coilovers. Previously I have fitted lowered springs and kyb shocks to my SSS Pulsar and a 1999 Camry. The Pulsar was fun, needed more power but was lots of fun. 

I get the impression that the Pedders coilover set is quite well thought of here. Could anyone who has them tell me how long they last?

Can you adjust the height yourself or do you have to take it to Pedders to get that done?

 

Have they been pretty reliable / no problems once set up?

 

Any thoughts from people who have experience with these is much appreciated.

I have a set on my Corolla and have ran them for approx. 40000km now without any issues whatsoever. The owner prior had run them for approx. another 5-10000km. They are a bit harsh compared to their more expensive equivalents, however for their price you can probably live with that. 

Mine contains the camber tops therefore adjustments are made with ease. Height and pre-load adjustments can be done yourself in your driveway, using the provided C spanners and a pair/set of jack stands. I've yet to service them, however I don't expect they would need it anytime soon.

Yeah, you're right. They're essentially the BC Racing BR series internals wrapped with Pedder's own coil springs, which are made here in Melbourne.

Thanks for those replies. I might look at BC then.

Thanks - im in Orange NSW. Iwent with king low springs and kyb shocks. I was nervous about the life of the coilovers and they were $1000 more than the new spring and shock combo.
