2015-2023 Mustang V6/EcoBoost/GT Pedders Adjustable Coilover Kit eXtreme Xa Installation

[@dmfd123]

Why don't you ever show the adjustment??? Show the top of the strut tower and how to adjust caster and camber!

[@On_3]

It’s not hard to loosen 4 nuts and slide the coil

[@Lesadoe23]

This video helped a lot, but for someone who has never worked a serious project before, there was a lot left out. My friends and I spent 6 1/2 hours on a Saturday doing this project, which is about how long I expected with the three of us. We ran into a few hiccups. Getting the spline bolts off was MUCH harder than shown in the video. While you are wacking away at those bolts, it is a good idea NOT to set the clipper on the frame. Those kept sliding off the frame. It is better to get something to set under these while working on those spline bolts. Getting the factory springs out was a challenge as well, a bit of maneuvering to get them out. I don't know how anyone could install the back assemblies without lifting the car all the way up and using a pole jack. We needed to raise and lower the pole jack several times to get the lower shock bolts lined up and tightened. Having a flexible socket extension to hold the new supplied nuts is would have been very helpful during this part too. Overall, if there was no video for this project, I would have never attempted it Thanks Bob and CJ Pony Parts!

[@basketball798]

CJ pony parts always do this. In. Reality add minimum 50% more labor time.

[@Josh102697315]

Unfortunately I have to agree. Me and a friend spent 5 hours just on the front. We switched the front coil overs because there was no instructions from the manufacturer or in this video on how to orient them. This is honestly not an easy install unless you have a lift. The spline bolts are very very difficult to get off and on. Theres alot of finesse needed on alot of components. This video was done by someone who’s probably done this dozens of times. If its your first time and your just a dude in your driveway allocate a whole day you’re gonna need it

[@R0cketRed]

Man I really want a section of the video that reviews the product after installation. Comparing it to stock and to other similar products.

[@alphamax129]

I don't know who else does this, but I find myself watching these and I don't even own a mustang anymore. I just want to know more about doing your own work

[@unccred]

Agreed, and same here. These are good basic concepts that can be applied to most cars. The procedures for doing these types of things aren't going to vary that wildly manufacturer to manufacturer.

[@barronjefferson4767]

I just installed this setup on my 2017 GT and I do love the adjustability that they have but the problem that I’m having is at slower speeds when I turn there is a lot of noise coming from the front. I had my daughter turn the steering wheel left and right and noticed that the spring was having a hard time I guess moving? What could be causing this and how can I get a better ride then factor? Thanks for the help.

[@UlisesNQ]

Barron Jefferson roll your fenders

[@ghafooryrahim2233344]

Wish the camber plates were already pre installed. I mean, I am paying extra for them so I’m probably gonna use them

[@sbiegs3885]

OUTSTANDING VIDS!

[@smokeyeinstien2631]

Can you please do a video on installation of these on a convertible?

[@quincymastin5131]

Why didn't they mention anything about the preload on the back. I hate when these so-called experts start make a video telling you how to do stuff but they leave out important information. I mean just because they know how to do it it doesn't mean the next person do so take your time and explain the steps when I say steps I mean the important information like the preload for the back

[@miikkeeyy666]

Just installed these rides extremely bouncy in the back, trying to find the solution. I think because we adjusted the shock height to line up with the 18 mil bolt holes might be the problem.

[@icdoo]

I have been running these for a couple of years on my gt premium and the handling is awesome. I would like some advise on how to limit wheel spin with this setup. I have great tires but still struggles to hook up for a launch.

[@peterwho9380]

Get the "Steeda Stop The Hop Kit" and you'll be good to go!

[@icdoo]

@@peterwho9380 that works on wheel spin as well as hop?

[@peterwho9380]

@@icdoo Yes and that's why I got it myself. I have the Steeda subframe brace, Steeda IRS & Subframe bushings and vertical links with no more hops and wheel spin, plus you need good tires right!

[@dablopski]

My right rear strut shock is an extra inch thread than my left rear strut shock. The collar rests with 5 inches of thread above but the right has extra 1inch of thread below while the left rear is snug.. what do u suggest? Should I remove the strut shock and rotate the bottom upto the collar?

[@vancevaz9564]

Just a quick question!! Can I use the front strut mount upgrade on to these as I have the pedders coilovers installed on my mustang and the drive isn’t smooth!

[@nigelsmustangchannel4563]

I just cut my turrets so I can adjust the top mounts without removing the strut. I wonder why they call the adjustable top mounts Castor/camber plates?? unless you swap them right/left they dont adjust Castor??

[@cjponyparts]

They basically are just camber plates, the name castor/camber places is typical but these do not allow any easy castor adjustment.

[@mustangcarl2126]

I am looking to upgrade the coil-overs on my 2008 Shelby GT and wish you did it on the 05-09 Mustangs and want to know how these compare to what on the market?

[@tjwreds1]

In order to get to the installed Pedders camber plates, you're going to have to cut the mounting location. Can you guys show this? How is it done best? To me, it looks like that entire bubble section needs to go.

[@cjponyparts]

Several kits are the same way. The owner of this car did not want it cut but you would need to remove enough to get an allen key or socket in there.

[@LaneHouse]

I'm about to install this setup next weekend, is there any sort of install guide for cutting? What actually needs to be cut and why?

[@tjwreds1]

you won't be able to get to the bolts on top without cutting that bulbous part of the strut tower off. see this www.camaro5.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=456769&stc=1&d=1356851200

[@LaneHouse]

Thanks!

[@stevensimpson1043]

There’s another video where they recommend just moving the screws from the outer holes to the inner ones on the camber plate before install. Supposed to make it easy to get to so you won’t have to cut.

[@Torsoman]

how can i buy those rear shocks only?

[@renegarcia7591]

How low is it out of the box like 1.3 inches or 1 inch??

[@TBoyer]

what's the minimum drop while using the camber plates. I don't want the car slammed.

[@cjponyparts]

Around 1.5 inches would be the minimum. This kit comes set up for roughly 2 inches from Pedders.

[@SH-oo5fd]

Just recieved my Pedders kit and the top hole on the lower 2 big bolts is slotted. Yours doesn't look slotted. Is it?

[@Cembruh]

Would the perch for the rear springs always be on top? I can’t find any videos for my Camaro

[@Cembruh]

I have the same pedders coilover

[@Aloneinthedarkso]

I just tried this today and the bolts that need to be hammered out literally doesn’t want to do anything. Any suggestions?

[@P07H34D]

socket adapter + hammer :)

[@icdoo]

at 5:56 in this video it shows the camber plates being installed.I don't believe that washer is supposed to be installed unless these are different than the 581095 plates that I have. Can you confirm?

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Well spotted that man!!. It looks like that washer is a bigger diameter than the cone inside the spring seat, so, it will crush in time and get sloppy!!

[@firefighter8047]

Can you order with the adjustment plate already installed?

[@cjponyparts]

At this time they do not offer complete assemblies.

[@bad_company5.03]

Good stuff. How easy are the adjustments to make? Can it be done with rims on the vehicle? I have Steeda on now, but would like to be able to change the height.

[@Zerogivengarage]

While you can access the adjustment collars with the wheels on it is MUCH easier with them off.

[@bad_company5.03]

Thanks. We love the Steedas, but when we go to the cruise ins and shows, it would be nice to be a little lower than daily drive height and I'm not ready for bags yet. Keep up the videos. They are really helpful. I can work on the OLD cars, but the new ones are challenging and your videos give us the confidence to tackle a lot more.

[@TBoyer]

do the holes in the top of the strut mounts leave enough room to make camber adjustments, or do those holes need to be enlarged to have access to the full range of camber adjustment on the plates?

[@cjponyparts]

For full access you would want to trim the openings a little bit.

[@domingodeanda233]

Qué chingon!

[@hddorton]

Can you run this kit with 19x11 wheels in the front?

[@GetoRigd]

Why do you need shortened sway bar end links

[@burkeyatm]

Ghetto Rigged Customs P because BC relocate the pickup point lower down on the struts. A shorter link is less likely to bend under stress.

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Can someone please tell me.. do I really need to drop the rear subframe to fit the rear springs? There is clearance on those bolts and the subframe position to body is jigged in the factory. I really don't want to disturb it yet. I wonder why this guy didnt cover the importance of adjusting the shock height along with spring height?? With springs at bottom stiing and shock at tallest setting your gonna break your top mounts surely??

[@djrickygaz]

No 💩 man I’m tired of these half a$$ installations

[@NigelsModellingBench]

@@djrickygaz precisely!!

[@BorisZech]

Can you elaborate on how the shock height is adjusted depending on the spring height?

[@NigelsModellingBench]

@@BorisZech OK, so, if your shock is set at max length and your car is lowered by its spring setting two things will happen. The shock will bottom out at full bump and the spring could dislocate at full droop. like wise, if the shock is set at its shortest length, it will not allow the suspension to fully droop. I guess the best thing to do is measure the shock at full and short length and set it half way when the car is at ride height. Coil overs would be much simpler but I wouldn't want to run coil overs on stock lower arms.

[@BorisZech]

@@NigelsModellingBench Thanks. I'm not excatly sure if I understand your last sentence, because I see no way to set the shock at half length when the distance between the shock's mounts is given by the ride height. My install is some time ago but I think we did it this way: install the spring (of course without the wheel and on the lift) with the desired height setting, then compress the spring a little bit by lifting the lower arm with a jack, adjust the shock according to the distance between its mounts and install it. What do you think?

[@LHJC292]

looks like these aren't buildable. Just have a 2 year warranty. Sad.

Instead of rebuilds, we stock replacement threaded dampers inserts that can be swapped out - saving the down time of waiting for rebuilds. Contact [e-mail] for service part numbers specific to your application.
