Thoughts on Pedders Street II suspension

[BW G8GT]

Hello All,

I plan on getting the Pedders Street II with drop around March. If someone who's had it done is willing to share their thoughts or feelings on product please do.

A couple of questions:

Does car ride or handle better?

How long did install take?

Do a search. Ed has a track II and I don't think anyone is better at explaining the Pedders experience better than him.
Check the suspension forum.

Here is one of his reviews. He has more, believe me.

Thanks Ray

I'm sorry I can't speak in technical terms about the pedders suspension but all I know is that it is the best handling car I've ever owned for its weight. I used to own BMW 3 series with a small drop and suspension done to it. This g8 blows my BMW away and handles awesome, knowing that you can hit corners at a high rate of speed is a real confidence booster. Hope this helps.

I have the Street II but Ed is still better at explainin than me.

Anyone care to do a write up on the coil-overs? With Motorcycles, I used to find the stock rear damper was always set too high for compression (bump) and so the rebound setting, if there even was one, was almost not noticable. When I would go to an aftermarket shock/spring assembly such as Fox, I would ease off on the compression and dial in a little more rebound. Result was a very smooth & absorbent ride with terrific wheel control (rear suspension). I discovered all this on my 900 Ninja way back when. My favorite corner was a 105mph sweeper, bumpy too, down to the pegs without so much as a slight shutter. I mean rock solid. I'm sure a car can be set up in this same way, just don't have the experience to do it. But that's why I was looking at the coil-overs. Any comments on how to achieve this ride/handling balance?
