Personally, I don't mind fish cocktails and I don't really care about caviar.... Just one of the reasons I fitted a set of Pedders coilovers to my car.....probably the best 1200 odd bucks Ive ever spent....and that was all four corners too... With all due respect though, whilst the Koni's are a top shelf item....for an "affordable" XR upgrade, the Pedders setup is hard to go past... In reality, it all comes down to what your looking for VS how much you want to spend..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest XR09 Guests Posted 28/06/11 11:54 AM Share Posted 28/06/11 11:54 AM A lot depends on how long you want them to last. How they perform under stress, as in when they get hot. The Pedders are ok for the $$$. I assume you can rebuild them ????. Just about anything is better than the things they throw on them std.The rear shock for my bike was $1200. From the US. For the one small damper and spring. It's an Ohlins. And it only has to cope with 200kg of bike and 80kg of me. So I guess you cant expect too much for $1200 all round.
