Hey everyone.,
Need some advice;
my luda has Pedder's Adjustable Coilover Springs installed,
but I have not a clue how to adjust the height.
Is this a big process at all?
What's involved?

Thanks heaps if you can leave some feedback.

hey dude they should come with a tool to adjust the height.. on my coil overs i use an alan key to loosen up the bit which the spring sits on.. then you turn it around to go up or down... and use a ruler to measure from some point on the shock, to make sure you get an even height... sorry if my explanation is crap

Nah that make's sence.
When doing so, the wheel must obviously be removed right?
afterwards., the part which you adjust with a tool, is it
easily acsessible ??

Thanks.

& nope I don't have a tool with, might go back to Pedder's
& see if I can purchase one for my model Coilover's.

gotta take off the tyre first.. then you'll see the spring sittin on something circular.. the circular thing should have a hole for an alan key like mine does.. or somethin else.. other coil overs use this weird hook tool.. best to find out waht tool it is from the company which manufactured your coilovers :)

sweet.
I'll first just take a wheel off and have a look round.,
then yes, get the appropriate tool from Pedder's.

Thanks heaps for your help.

Mate, stay away.
I myself have got Pedder's, they're decent., although
EVERY i went asking to adjust them for me laughed at
them., said Pedder's are the bodgiest f*cks out !!!
Pedder's are usually the cheapest .. but hey, you get
what you pay for !!

how do they work, you Use a C-clamp tool which simply
adjust's the height up or down .. very smart.

Thanks heaps to everyone for your suggestions & tips.
I have lowered my adjustables to the max fornt & rear
on the stock wheels .. look VERY clean.
the body/guard sits completely over the tire on the
rear., just above the rim .. il try post some pics up this week.

looks very nice.

Thanks heaps once again!
