Pedders Ezfit

Anyone ever run this or know much about it, I have scoured the internet and found like 1 review, they seem better than going for cheap coilovers for the 1in drop I want.

What are you really looking for in a coilover if you only want a 1" drop? You know that the Eibach pro kit and several other spring companies give you the same drop on OE suspension right?

These are what he's after, completely assembled already.

OP, I wouldn't suggest getting those at all. Shocks will be worse than stock, upper mounts will be cheap, who knows what the spring rates are, etc.

Why go this route when there are quality pieces available for lower or like cost?

Those don't include upper mounts, but you're not far off. New mounts would push it over $1000 for OEM or Group N mounts.

What am I missing? They look like coilovers already to me.

install of Pedders FRS coils and struts

I just had all four struts replaced with the Pedders ezfit kit on my fairly high mileage (94k) FRS.

full disclosure: this is a daily driver, I've never raced on a track, so take that for what it is worth

Immediate and dramatic improvement in handling. Stiff, but incredibly well damped. I don't plan to take advantage of the camber range of adjustment.

My mechanic was impressed and told me to expect improved chassis feel and, gosh, he was right.
