ok here's my advise, go the pedders sports package, while i have king springs all round (pics here : http://www.hotgemini.com/cgi-bin/gallery2.cgi?action=sv&vid=138) i would still reccomend the full pedders setup, will probably be more pricy but IN MY OPINION would be the best choice for your car... _________________

no worries!!
and 1 more interesting fact that was brought to my attention not so long ago was that pedders do the "lowest legal" springs on the market... _________________

I got king springs all round in my TG. It is lowered about 2.5 - 3 inches. At first the put the springs in and it wasn't low enough so they adjusted them somehow and it dropped more. It drives really good now and cost $350 fitted. Definately better than the chop chop option. |
