For the price I'd just buy Monroe. Unless they have better quality stuff at pedders these days.

Stock I'm at 370ish and was told (by Kings) that combo should come out at 350.Should be a pic of mine in 300kw section if not wholesale suspensions section, post by me. It's about 20-30mm drop from memory bud Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/78723-coilovers-or-new-springs-and-shocks-sway-bars/page/4/#findComment-1198854 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam_boss260 Member 24 Member For: 13y 4m 11d Gender: Male Posted 20/02/12 05:24 AM Share Posted 20/02/12 05:24 AM Pedders have quoted me $2,600 for their coil overs, fitted !!!! And if I went just springs, $900 fitted with wheel alignment!! What are they smoking? And with the springs, 35 to 40mm drop in height.I'm just chasing 15mm, as I don't want it scraping everywhere. Another place quoted me $595 for Kings, SL's I think, fitted with wheel alignment. Drop of around 20mm then plus settling /sagging of 5 to 10mm.Will be going to another place this week to get another price. If it is too hard, then I'll just leave it as standard and not worry about it.
