Has anyone used Pedders sportsryder springs to lower their VE?

Thanks waynebatt

BTW - Your Car Looks Awesome !

Love the Colour !


I was looking to get those Rims but couldnt find them anywhere & cost too much direct from Holden !

Yea no worries mate. thanks for the compliments. I love the colour too, shame they got rid of it for the VF.....

I actually got these rims as a HSVi upgrade from the dealer. But before doing so i did have a look around and there were a few wheel/tyre dealers online that had them.

take a look here on ebay. Theres two different options with the rim so be aware of that. One is ALL Silver like mine, and the other has the "ports" or the bit inside the triangle sections painted black. In my opinion it makes the wheel look a bit cheaper and tacky. But yeah, just letting you know.

Thanks guys. I have booked it in with Pedders next week. Can't wait!! I've bought some new 19's for the car so will put them on over the weekend first and then get it lowered. Will post pics once its all done

Got it done! Love it. The car is at the perfect height I wanted. It's lowered by 35mm and sits just nice. After a few days of driving in traffic and highway (and a quick fang around albert park lake) I'd say the handling has def improved, feels more balance, steady, not floaty like the previous springs.
Comfort has taken a small hit, but only minor.

Here is before and after.

New wheels are going on on the weekend. I've got two sets at home. One are 20's, the other 19's. Will put 20's on first and see how the car rides before trying the 19's..

Nice one - looks good!

Go the 20's... you know you wanna

Car looks Good VE_CalaisV8

What were your Part Numbers ?

Did you put the 20's on ?



I'm still looking around to get a good quote on these ...

Found the 2956(Front) & 2957(Rear) - but these are "Stage1" or "not as low" as the 2954(Front) & 2955(Rear) Springs.

I've got 20" Rims

Hey mate,

Part no:
F:2954
R: 2541

I put the 19's on it. Ride height is exactly what I wanted. Not super low but low enough. I dont scrape on anything ( I did once but that was on a huge speed hump and I hit it too fast).

Pics are the 19's. I am putting my 20's on this weekend to see how they look.

did u have to replace ur shocks ? and how much total did this cost ?
i want to lower my wagon but im on 22"s and dont want to so low that i will need to get the guards rolled . i have about 3-4cm of clerance between the arches and the wheels

i fitted sports rider to my VE SS 3 days ago, had king springs for about 4 weeks & did not like the ride or the stance of the car, Pedders brilliant, right quality so much better & height just nice, can speak from experience on comparing both brands on the same car, Pedders wins by a mile
