Good luck, Pedders has never really liked to back up their performance claims with numbers/specifications.

He isn't using Tokico's, he didn't even run them when the car was in FS, he ran Koni's. He now runs AST's now that the car has moved to ESP.

He may have used them in the past, but isn't currently.

You're most likely right,I just remember him pushing the D specs.

Me personally, my car is a street/strip car, I'll be going with Koni STR.Ts

I'm not saying there is anything wrong with the D-specs though, for a spring/shock/bar car I would run them.

But for how cheap springs are, you could always give it a try.

I actually have considered buying new bumpstops, ones that are a softer compound.

Does anyone know if the Camber Adjustment Bolts, are necessary to get the alignment back on track??
