Pedders eXtreme XA coilovers or something else?

[axios]

Anyone running these? Are you happy with them?

Any other suggestions for street / occasional track use?

Thanks, I'll check out the H&R ones!

I'm leaning towards coilovers as I'm worried about matching spring and damping rates when it comes to combining different shocks and springs.

watching this as im kind of in the same market currently. the FPTP shocks and struts are becoming more and more tempting though.

I'd be more worried about the quality of the dampers. There is lots of experience here matching handling springs to the Bilstein or Ford Performance monotube dampers.

Cheap coilovers tend to save money with cheap shocks.

really? i havent seen that from what ive read.

ive been between them and the bilstein, with either my eibach pro springs or getting the bmr handling springs.

B16s seem to be on sale - I could justify spending $1800 a bit more easily than $2600

I had some Bilstein PSS9s on another car and they were quite good for a mostly street car with a few fun days at the track.

I don’t know anywho has run the PSS10 on a mustang, and I’d be curious about the spring rates.

Its not my money, but I bet you’d be happy with those.

30mm (>1”) min drop is too much for me tho personally.

Good point and I agree - 1" is the sweet spot IMO

looks like it's a nation-wide discount. I would still recommend buying from Steeda. @tj@steeda can perhaps provide more technical information.

I personally would make a spacer of at least 10mm (more like 15) to change the adjustment range from 20-40 front drop to 10-30mm. The rear I would toss the springs and put 900+ rate traditional config in there for a 0.5"-0.75" max drop.

Did you ever make a decision on this?
