ill be getting some MCA soon to replace my pedders as the rear shocks are leaking again after being replaced with the revised better shocks, its been quite a few years but less the 5000km driven with shocks as they simply cant handle engine torque, ive had the pedders on for years when n/a and were fine but with boost ive been thru now the first set (leaked) and a second set (leaked) of rear shocks in less then 10-15k driven, im not sure if they have been revised again but im not going to test it out

yeah the pedders i had in my VE leaked in the rear with like 6000kms, and it was far from a weapon.

they said the same thing, replacements are a revised design, they were starting to leak again by the time i sold it

they blame it on the angle the shock is on, yet i dont hear of any other manufacture shocks leaking, also they could design them different to shift the compression angle the shock is on if its such a poor setup

Doing some mild track work. Nothing serious, so was looking at what was a step up hopefully. That's why was looking at there remote reservoir kit & not there STD coilover kit

KW are the best for track work. You'll be faster on the track with R spec tyres, stock suspension and a good set of brake pads.
