S550 Coilovers

[Gloucesternige]

is this based off the steeda mounts for the factory dampers ? if so i'll get a set ordered as I can use them straight away on the pp dampers until I order the pedders stuff in the new year.

Yup, get em ordered. My little conversion will not use any of the custom parts Steeda supply or offer.
Of course, my conversion will be designed for track use only. :clap2:

What's the difference? :lol:

Steeda offer kits for different shocks, but apparently will not do Pedders?

I have the Steeda KW V3 kit and it comes with spacers/sleeves but no nuts.

What's the difference e between road and track? Hatchbacks and pedestrians is the answer.

I meant what's the difference between track and street, but you nailed that on the final bit :lol::lol::lol::lol:!

This is unbelievable guys.

I ordered a pair of Pedders adjustable top mounts on Sunday from Rallysportdirect in the US. I paid an extra $6 for UPS express delivery.

They were despatched on Monday at 18:45 our time, they were delivered to me at 10:15 this morning!!! I'll get some pics up later.

what was the tax on them?

£66 mate

£66 mate

so. £171 + £4.58 in dollars, then £66 a this end? so about £241?

No, They cost £236.95 with shipping, plus the dreaded £66 customs. When I said an "extra" $6 for express, it was an extra $6 over the standard $68.

Not cheap, but compared to Ohlins prices they're a bargain, and lets not forget, all the Ohlins R+T stuff is made in Asia!!

Nige they look the business. I looked at getting a set but as you say why not available in the UK :shrug:. My money is reserved for a McLeod Twin Disc RXT Street Clutch Kit good for up to 1,000bhp and a Steeda MT-82 Tri-Ax Race Short Shifter.

Have you had good reports on the Steeda shifter? I put one on my S197 and it was bloody awful. I would consider the MGW or the one that CJ pony parts promote if I were you.

I have the MGW still in the box but I've heard it's a little stiff?? The Steeda on
my S197 was just a stiffer version of the original Ford garbage.
