Hi guys . has anybody fitted the sports ryder coils to their forester ? I'm in the uk and going to fit a pedders kit ...I have been advised the heavy duty springs to lower it with the pedders struts but i see that they also do a sports ryder spring ...any advice ?
cheers

Keep us informed of your final choice, and how it performs.
A lot of vehicles here fit pedders products.

Perhaps ask over at ozfoz.com as well

I'm getting SportRyders fitted today. I'll let you know in a few hours how they look!
You'll find some pics on OZFOZ.com.au

Sorry about the poor pic quality - just had my iPhone on me.

Great thanks , looks like about an inch or so drop ?

A little more - I reckon between 40 - 50mm, so about 2" in the old money?

How's the ride now ? guessing it's a lot better ?

:woohoo:

A lot more "pointy". Doesn't feel like a boat anymore.

The RSB was replaced with a Perrin 19mm the previous week which made a massive difference on its own.

I have not had a chance to fong it yet, but very happy so far.

For more low and flexibility (in terms of adjustment), you'll need to go with Tein Coilovers or something similar, but I got exactly what I was after with the Perrin and Pedders combo.
(The RSB was a 15min DIY install).
