PEDDERS REAR XA ADJUSTABLE COIL OVER INSTALL
Like the front coil over assembly, the rear requires you to transfer the upper strut mount, and the 2 upper
strut bushing washers from the OE rear units to the new assembly. Also a hole must be drilled in the upper
plate to be able to install an adjusting cable to the side-mounted adjuster. Then you will have to install the
upper strut mount bracket, 2 large washers top and bottom, and then tighten the strut nut assembly,
keeping the upper strut shaft in line with the adjuster cable and hole that you drilled. You do not want to
have the cable kinked. Then you will have to set the coil spring preload, then make height adjustments.
There will be an approximate 2mm strut height change to a 1mm rear vehicle ride height change. This is
different than the front. Threading the strut body into the lower bracket, lowers height. There is a
maximum thread extension of the rear coil over strut shaft and an inspection hole to verify(30mm). You
will be able to adjust a maximum height of approximately ½ inch (13mm) height to a drop cover 2 inches.
Note the dampers may allow this, but you may reach the maximum drop to the 620mm with 20-inch
wheels. Aggressively large wheels and tires may not allow you to drop this low or tire to quarter panel, in
and out, may have contact.
