[thekid93]

yeah i know springs do. i want to know if coilovers can be wound down that low or not. i want my car to sit just a smidgeon lower then SSL's.

i relised i sounded like a noob - young and stupid and blah blah blah
to make the question easier how low do pedders coilovers go in particular on a VX? im trying to acheive ever so lower then SSL's.

ok mate well I just put pedder coilovers in mine it sits around 340mm in the front and can go I think another 70mm lower so yeah they go a **** load lower then you SSSSSSL springs

air bags are getting cheap these days if you REALLY wanna get it lower

 

[GEN3RATD]

yeah well thats well low enough cheers bro. hows it handle?
i thought about air bags but i dont think it will suit my application.

Dont know the cars back home at Dad's I havn't driven it yet since they have been put in. I just know they can go alot lower then it is now

the pedders extreme xa will get the front down a **** load in a vx, the main problem is the rear, they go down a fair way but not as low as you would expect for an adjustable spring platform. 75% of the ones i have fitted to vt-vz customers wanted it lower in the rear. that said on full adjustment it will give you aprox ssl height.

That's no good, maybe they aren't right for me. Cheers

What other parameters we need to adjust in case the rear of the VX goes much lower? Wheel alignment? I'm looking at TEIN coilovers but havent found the partnumbers that will fit a VX

 

[GEN3RATD]

Pedders just rang me and they said their coilovers can effectively be wound down to touch the ground.
