Hi guys, im going to get coilovers for my 2011 (pedders extreme XA), just wondering what a good ride height is for driving around town. I want to lower the car but i dont want to struggle over speed bumps/high angled driveways etc as this is an everyday driver. I was thinking 1/2 inch to an inch lower, but i have no idea on what would suit my conditions.

So, any advice fellas? Or anyone have a setup/height that works for them on a 2011?

Cheers

My advice would be think twice about buying pedders.
My question is what do know about spring ratings ?

Why coils? Why Pedders? Springs would be easier if all you want is a mild drop.

I'd personally do some research and go for some whiteline springs for a drop like that.

Most springs will do a 1" or 2" drop.

I personally think 1" is perfect for keeping the suspension geometry and not having to crab crawl over every speed bump.

70mm from the ground is ideal

I had my front lip 90mm off the ground when i first got my coils. Shat me to tears.

@ about 110mm now...much better.

Used to scrape on everything, burnt through wheel liners under compression....turd.

90mm seems around right

Could always try some lowering springs that have firmer rates than oem, Race Comp Engineering/Einbach/H&R come to mind.

Edit: just saw the adjustable part in the title, ignore me

I have sti pinks, and they are just over an inch lower then Std. (my05 sti)
Plus front lip - which sits about 70-80mm of ground.
Central muffler sits about the same distance of the ground, (3' tbe)
and cannon hits the kerb when I pull out of a driveway. (jfk titanium)
Front lip scraps over anything biggish I cant approach at like 15-35 degrees.
Wheel Liners are history, and front bar is pretty rooted.
Front bar comes of completely if car needs to go on a truck, etc
Or I just Cringe.

Mud flaps Also Scrap.
and skirts scrap if its an angled/halfsized bump.



Picture is old but its same height.

100+mm if you want to avoid scraping. I'm still too young an naive for that. if its not scraping, its got to be 4"+ too big with Muddies
