badflt: Thats my problem. L/R front struts, top two coils are binding so bad they are wearing material off the springs, and making loud clunking noises. Contacted Pete at Pedders, and created a ticket, so we'll see if they have a fix for my problem. If they sent me a set of coilovers, I'd crap my pants, and get a Pedders tat on my butt. I'd for sure do some advertisement at the car shows I work. Listening Pedders? "Moon"

I think badflt got lucky with his dealings with Pedders. Their not in the habit of giving away coilovers, for nothing. My post earlier was definately "tongue in cheek". "Moon"

since i'm having the same issues i emailed Pete the other day, got an auto-response email in return. he's on vacation until June 5th (next monday). i'll be patient and wait, instead of calling in.

Sounds like they need to increase the spring rate for these.

Well after talking to Jon of Powell Racing I know the issue is quality control

I am going take mine off for compression testing and if Jon is right only 1 of 4 springs will be correct
We shall see

I was just getting ready to order a set of Pedders springs for my ss. Hmmm guess I'll wait and go another route!

for those that are having this issue..... how "old" are your Pedders springs?
