Description
Vauxhall VXR8 Pedders Lowering Springs for LS-2 & LS-3 Vehicles, these springs lower the vehicle by approximately 30mm.
The primary function of springs, wether they be Leaf, Coil or Torsion Bars, is to absorb the shocks that are created when driving across irregular road surfaces and to maintain the tyres? contact with the road.
The spring rate, or stiffness, must be matched to the weight of the vehicle resting on it and the weight of the other suspension components and the wheel. Spring rate also controls roll stiffness, or body roll. By reducing the amount of body roll, we reduce the amount of wheel camber change. Large camber change can drastically reduce the tyre?s contact with the road surface, severely limiting the handling potential during cornering.
The handling of most vehicles is substantially improved by increasing the original spring rate to an optimum rate which maximises tyre adhesion and reduces body roll for better handling. Increasing the spring rate beyond the optimum rate detracts from the handling potential as the tyres begin to skip over bumps, reducing grip and safety.
Coil Spring Design and manufacturing is a craft which requires strict adherence to a demanding series of procedures, all of which are critical to the performance of the final product. Pedders undertakes the following key steps in relation to its Coil Spring Manufacturing Process:
* Hot Coiling
* Oil Quenching
* Furnace Tempering
* Shot Peening
* Scragging
* Loaded Height and Rate Testing
* Powder Coating and Packaging
NOTE:- Fitment available.
