T31 - PEDDERS LIFT KIT - OPINIONS

Hi All,

After going through the various posts regarding lifting the T31, I could not find an answer to my question , so yet another post regarding lift kits etc.

Did any of you guys installed the Pedders Kit as per below link? I saw that many just changed the front and rear springs to achieve the rise of around 30- 35 mm, but did any one used teh shocks mentionned in the lift kit ? IF yes any noticeable improvements in handling, ride quality etc?

Pedders 1.75 inch Lift Kit

Thanks a lot!

momoxtrail,

The below mentioned lift kit seems to be not much different to our locally available king springs which give you approx. 30mm lift.

While it says 1.75 inch (44mm) i would dare say the rear shocks and front struts are very close to stock, if not, standard spec components with longer springs.

I have had the higher springs fitted for some time and i have noticed that they are stiffer than the stock springs.
Body roll is minimal and handling is true and not too sloppy.

I did ad a strut bar in the engine bay to help with these factors as well.

I was about to install a lift kit i purchased from Russia only to find out the front strut spacers have been supplied for the T30 not T31.

stay tuned, i will update when and if complete.

Thanks for the feedback,

I was thinking that while I am at changing the springs might be a good idea to change the shocks, no sure what is the lifespan of the stock ones? My exy is at 107,000km now.
