Let me start by saying, i like this company. I'm no expert, nor do i profess to be, but there IS some wrong information here. Don't want anyone messing up their car or installing wrong. The ride height is not adjusted by the collars below the spring. That is your preload. To set your preload (for most people and applications), you'd adjust the spring collars just until they contact the spring and then kinda just a little bit of tension...maybe half a turn or one turn once the collar contacts the spring. You just want it a little firm so the spring cant spin around freely. If you try to lower your car using the method in this video, i promise you your car will ride around like a damn pogo stick. The ride height is adjusted buy turning the shock tube down into the lower anchor point of the coilover. The other teeth grinding moment for me was when the 2 big bolts at the bottom of the shock were removed and installed. You want to spin the nut side off, you don't want to spin the bolt head. Those are splined bolts. They're not meant to be turned in or out. If you do have to grab the hammer to pound them out, grab your nuts (giggity) and spin them back on the bolts by hand a few turns, hit the nut with the hammer not the end of the bolt, that way you don't goof up your threads.
9:15 From the manual: **CAUTION** **Air impact tools must not be used to tighten top mounts to piston rods or damage to the new units will result** - ouch
Well I have these and if you run stock rear shock mounts with these you will blow those mounts on a daily basis. If you get these and are trying to run track suspension get j&m shock mounts.
So how do you determine the actual height value when adjusting? There's no hash marks to determine height settings? I'd hate to have to keep mounting and removing tires to get the ride height I want.
I’m pretty sure he completely stripped the splined strut bolts. No way those go in and out that easy. My mustang is a 2019 and it was world war 3 getting those bolts out.
I recently purchased a mustang gt with pedder xa extreme coilovers and the right rear shock is 1 inch higher than the left rear. How would I adjust to even out?
You’re right. Making the adjustments is not done by loosening both locking collars. The way he did it will change the preload. Just unlock the bottom locking collar and rotate the TOP collar to your desired height. The entire shaft should spin in the part that mounts to the hub. That way preload is still achieved.
Has anyone had problems with getting an alignment? I went and they said the top of the strut tower needs to be removed so they can reach the camber bolts?
And no information was given to determine how to adjust for ride height in inches. What do you have to mount and unmount your tires just to check the height?
Shop these Pedders eXtreme XA Coil-Overs! : muscle.am/3qo4Zwu

I have these installed on one of my cars. The improvement in ride and handling is significant.
Drastic improvement from stock??
I heard coils run stiffer or rough any update ?
@Car_nage The overall ride is still comfortable, with an improvement in steering response, (more direct), and much less body roll.
@@AH20XX Yes, much improved!

So you have to buy after market shock mounts

Bro that’s what I’m saying!
I have an 18 GT and went to war with that bolt
it back me up the whole day for those
i want a ZERO drop to only 0.25" can i get that with this kit?

How to adjust dampening for the rear?
Seems to me there is wrong info on this video on how to raise and lower the car.

u have to cut a hole into the top
i guess better said is that you have to widen the strut tower hole. steeda has a cutting tool specifically for that
None of the bolts were tightened to spec???

What about magneride mustangs?
Padder coilover has 2 options for non-MagneRide and MagneRide,, just make sure that you order the correct one for your car.
how long can it go ?
