Alright I may need to jump on this bandwagon as mine are making some serious noise on medium to hard bumps in the rear. Also the passenger rear spring has rust on it as the powdercoat has somehow worn off.... how do I get ahold of Pete @ Pedders again?

I'm curious on coilovers part myself as Deb and Pete both swear up and down no one got coilovers and Deb deals with all orders


Ashanti, that's how mine started and it's gotten a lot worse and within last 3 months
I posted both Deb and Pete emails
Deb is at office and Pete is on HotRod power tour but still answers
He actually called me to discuss some issues per Deb request

I would'nt hold your breath on getting "Free" coilovers from Pedders. They are not in the habit of giving them away for nothing, I'm sure.
They are working on my coil binding problem as we speak, and the best I can hope for is a new[read: correct spring rate] set of springs. If they did give out a set of coilovers, I'm sure it was only a one time deal.
I'd love to have a set of coilovers[for sometimes track use] but, I'm sure not holding my breath, that that will happen. I'd crap my pants if it did happen. Or being politically correct: "I'd soil myself". "Moon"

BC coil overs are $959 I believe on modernperformance.com. I believe they sell megans for $800. Big difference from pedders at $1500 or whatever it is

my thoughts exactly. heck, i'd attempt a backflip if i got a set of new springs.

i'm currently in talks with Deb, sent her a pic of my springs along with some information she asked for. something tells me that this issue may be with a certain batch of springs, considering some of us who have this issue have had these springs for about 2 years.
