i now have the chance to get some new suspension for the mighty b210,

im thinking of going all pedders stuff, springs, shocks, balljoints, etc.. mainly because they deal with the product everyday and have direct contact with the factory so any problems that get reported go straight to the people who make them, unlike kingsprings, where we sell them at supercheap, and if theres any problems we just refund and dont usually give product feedback..

is my reason good enough lol?

or is there anything other people have tried that might be of interest to me?

so who uses pedders and how does it perform?

any info or opinions would be cool,

cheers
tom

My 2c is stay away from gas shocks, they have no real dampening and in a light car like a 120y things get pretty bouncy, get some oil/gas kyb's, they arent too expensive either.

My partners 1200 had new Monroes front and rear, when I upgraded to shortened stanza struts I used the kybs and the car transformed and is now comfortable again.

i use pedders and have no issues ... if you can get a good customer relation with the guys behind the counter you shouldnt have any issues

whitesedan speaks words of wisdom: don't overstiffen a 120y coupe or you'll have a bounce monster

did you use lowering blocks in the rear?

i'd contemplate using blocks and not de-arch or reverse-arch the rear leafs

just to ensure i didn't completely ruin the ride
