Hey guys im looking at doing the suspension in my s14, now keep in mind im daily driving the car and i was looking at coilovers nothing to harsh now just wondering what your thoughts would be on the pedders extreme coilovers.
I have got a price fitted wheel alligned and all for $2050 do you think this is any good?
I know you can buy jap spec teins and so forth for about 1300 and up but im just weighing up my options and see what you guys think

Thanx Jason

i paid $1600 for g4's and that is installed allignment.
my honest opinion is that i shouldve spent that bit extra and buy proper coilovers.. im sure the pedders are btter than g4's aswell
i also dont know much about the pedders brand quality wise..
thanks andy

There is a good chance they are another brand rebranded to pedders.

So see if you can check that out before hand

peddars are good for shopping trolleys

go for the jap coilovers

ok so what do most people suggest i should buy i want something good i dont want shit and what spring rates to you think also for daily driving

peddlers may use another coilover brand with their own brand stamped onto it.

tein monoflex if your budget stretches that far. tein flex if not. i have flex and am very happy with it as a daily driver.

for ~2K you can get the monoflex tein coilovers. These are apparently best bang for buck at the moment, although the spring rates are set at 7/5 - f/r i believe.

if you want lower spring rates i would go for the aus spec tein street coilovers. they come in 5/4 springrates off the top of my head

I've got super streets, picked them up a little used for just over 1k form a member.

pretty happy with them, but I wish they went lower...

Were you running these at Wakie on Saturday?

If so how were they?

+1.. I'd pick these over pedders for sure.

I paid $1750 for flex + EDFC delivered.. 10 000kms old

Unfortunately I cannot really compare them to anything as it was my first track day. On the softest settings they fill similar to stock, on the track I ended up having 4 clicks from the hardest in front and 8 click from the hardest at the back, which was much better. I guess next time I'll stiff them up even more.

Also my camber was all out: -0.5 in front and -3 at the back.

But overally I'm very happy with them, I just wish they could go an inch or so lower...

It's a shame we couldnt passenger that day, i would love to sit in a 15 with coilovers going around the track, as this will most likely be my next mod

One session I was a passenger in my own car when the instructor was driving - that was insane. Loved every minute of it. Even though he complained that the front had no grip he powered out on every corner.

which car were you in?

Im trying to keep the budget at 2k put in and aligned, im just unsure of the spring rate, what are people's recomendations?

Thanx jase
