Pedders coilovers vs Eibach Lowered springs

[MechEngChristian]

Hi Everyone,
I'm in two minds between Pedders XA coilovers for my 2020 BRZ or Eibach Lowered springs. Has anyone fitted the Pedders coilovers or Eibach springs to their street car?

Depends what you want to do.. if you want bigger/wider wheels you’ll need coilovers to give you camber once you get past 18x8.5” +38, using Rays anyway. Having said that if you want bigger wheels on the rear you’ll need adjustable LCA’s anyway.

I’ve had Eibachs and they were fine for just dropping the cars height And being a bit firmer, and they work fine with the OEM shocks. I’ve now had the MCA Blues and currently have the MCA Reds. Probably overkill in my situ but why not if you can.

Thanks heaps for the info Steve much appreciated mate. I do want to lower the car, just to close up the wheel/fender clearance a bit, which the springs would do, but also think like the option to go to a wheel wider than 8.5 in the future would be a good idea. How is the ride quality on the MCA's? Are they a super stiff ride?

The Reds are very much a track coilover BUT you can tune them, via spring choice and valve via a screw on top, to be a softer ride and they are fine for DD..
