Coilovers

 

Unless you buy pedder or kw variant 2 coilovers it's waste of money

I feel my Koni and pedder setup is improvement over stock

 

Koni yellows & stock...... best 2 options for struts & shocks.

 

Are your Konis on an SS or not? When I called KW the person I spoke with said they couldn't recommend the variant 2s for an SS as they'd never tried them.

What's the advantage of the Pedders setup with Konis versus just putting the Konis on the stock uprights?

Koni on SS , fronts are inserts rear are full replacement

Biggest difference is damping adjustment
Daily driving I run fronts as is, rears 2 turns firmer

Canyon carving or day on track I run front two clicks firmer and rear 4 turns

Another benefit is lowering center of mass for vehicle


The variant 2 works just fine but I'll run pedder coilovers before kw just because pedder developed theirs specifically for HHR SS why kw used the old Lsj cobalt for developement

 

I installed the adjustable Koni's only on the rear as the rear suspension is way too soft, I got tired of it squatting on takeoff and that mushy feeling when driving. I ended up adjusting them almost all the way firm. It really sticks to the road now and got rid of the sloppy feeling. Now the fronts feel soft, may change soon. The only thing I don't like about them is you have to disconnect them, and push them all the way in and turn to adjust as these are not struts, just shocks next to the spring. BTW, I want to lower it about 1" front and 1.5" rear- any suggestions? i am not spending $1700 for the pedders setup- although its probably awesome, I just cant justify the cost.

 

Pedders are not $1700... They are a bit more $$ than others but well worth it.

We should be the lowest price on Pedders, if not, tell us who is lower and we will beat them.
