    Default Suspension Questions

    When I first purchased the car it had cut springs with GT gas shocks.
    It now has Pedders Touring Springs with the same shocks.

    Im thinking with the cut springs it might of made the Shocks worn out..

    Im thinking of getting a new set of shocks.
    Ive found two Shockers that im keen on..
    Pedders Sport Ryder Shocks: Pedders Sports Ryder Suspension - Sports Ryder Shock Absorbers - Pedders Suspension and Monroe GT sport shocks: Monroe - GT Sport
    Would it be worth the upgrade to one of those? If so.. What would be the best ones to buy?
    Thanks

    Short springs plus low profile tyres will give a rough ride. Plus you're reaching the full compression stroke of the shock sooner.
