Pedders Ezi-fit
Has anyone on here got the Pedders Ezi-fit suspension fitted to a hawk? Just I'm debating swapping the BC BR coil overs on mine as I find the ride a bit hard/bouncy and the Pedders kit looks like a reasonable alternative.

I looked into the Pedders too, if I decide to keep my car long term I will buy a set too for my Blob.

Avoid Pedders for hawk (wagon)
Just had my worn out shocks replaced with Pedders.
Couldn't go round corners, or carry any kind of load in the back as they made the tyres scrape the wheel arches and messed up a brand new set of Goodyear Eagle F1s. They were then replaced with the more substantial Pedders which...made no difference whatsoever. Am now having to replace them with Subaru OEM. Total disaster and waste of time and money. It is a wagon so not sure how much that affects things but wanted to let people know. |
They do not do a set that fit wagons, who ever supplied them to you supplied the wrong items. Weight on the back of a wagon is heavier than saloon hence the rubbing.

read above, THEY DO NOT DO A SET THAT FIT WAGONS, they will be too soft at the back and the wheels will rub

Correct. Worn shocks won't drastically affect the ride height so something else must be the cause - too wide or wrong offset wheels perhaps?
or is no body bothering to read? lol |
Tidgy...read what I posted - I'm not disagreeing with you or in fact making any comment whatsoever on Pedders products. I am merely pointing out that the root cause of this individual's problem is not worn shocks.

ah, my bad, missunderstood what you were getting at :lol1: the ezi fit are full struts/springs/top mount and come as a whole unit that just replaces whats there, they are just the wrong fitment for your car rico, so will always scrap on the back end due to the extra weight. |

If its just the shocks, changing these isn't going to change the height. As already suggested above, the Ezifit kit isn't ideal for wagons as it will sit lower. That said, even if the car was resting on the bumpstops, the wheels shouldn't touch the arches. Thats a wheel fitment/offset issue. What is the actual problem you are trying to solve? If its rubbing the arches, changing suspension is not the answer. PM me if you prefer. |
