yeah I also got the idea pedders is ok stuff, but over rated and over priced cause of the name. usually get better value from a 'no name' brand (as long as you do the research needed to make sure the quality is good).

I found this to be true especially when I was into stoopidly large car audio systems, and discovered jaycar 'response' amps. way better than any 'name brand' for the money....

Also very happy with mine. I havent driven another ford with XYZ's but have driven a mates Commodore and the noise from the strut tops was intense, but thats a symptom of most metal bearing tops.

I run my pedders on 8 clicks from soft from and rear, was running 12 rear 20 front before chaning to the super pro poly's this is for every day driving. Full hard all zero body roll (with stock rear sway and 31mm front)and filling rattling ride

Axle tramps is gone even with 285's on the rear (superpro blade bushes helped alot with the tramp)

Over all im very happy. the adjustablility has been very help for me to dial in the handling/ride height I want with the humungo rear tires im running

Yeah gonz, the only FG they have done with the xyz's. I know that you have them now, how you finding them? When they were first installed, they were a little soft and weren't dialed in correctly. Both Pete and I knew this but had to let the springs and shocks settle before we fixed it.

2 weeks later took it in and re dialed in the suspension. Thing handled like a go cart, I thought it was magic, however Pete still wasn't happy. So xyz sent over new rears. Put them in and F**k. That good. Like honestly speechless. It did take about 6 weeks for it to happen, however end result was magic. They look after you $$ wise too :D

WA suspensions is def a quality place not only with customer service but with knowledge and advice. I got me sway bars to come but no $$ atm is killing me haha

How are you finding them gonz?

I supposedly got a mates rates price from pedders for $2200 installed, lol. Fulcrum's site says Teins are $2600 - supply only. All said, I dont won't to lower mine much at all as I'm still running the factory 18's. I was thinking about just doing bilstein's and leaving the standard springs, but even that would ring up around a grand. So, if I can get coilovers for say $1500 and can then dial in the height, it makes sense. Any feedback would be great guys.
