Bulletime Donating Members 937 Member For: 13y 8m 18d Gender: Male Posted 06/01/13 07:46 AM Share Posted 06/01/13 07:46 AM Got a full set of pedders sports Ryder installed yesterday. , what an insane difference, all bushes replaced with super pro gear, rear diff centre and sides done as well Handles like a Subaru now! Oh yeh I did 4getz +4 hrs for diff bush then I swear the op is talking about just shocks and springs ....... I was responding to this guy saying he got it all for 2k, inc bushes done, couldn't see how he got it so cheap with all the labour for the rear bushes. op was just springs and shocks though your right. All good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will have access to a spring compressor but this is my only real concern. Does it need to be compressed alot? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm holding the caliper in this pic and it is not as tight as it may appear (that's what she said). Edited 10/03/13 05:46 PM by -SteveR- 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
