Sports Ryder Struts - Opinions

[Filthy]

Just wondering what people think of Pedders Sports Ryder Suspension for the Excel.

Errr aren't they just rebadged Munroes???:crazy: I used KYB's with King's springs but there is a ride height difference between Single cam and Twin cams to get enough ground clearance I had to put 3x6mm spacers between strut and body which gave a 30mm lift to my single cam body. Worked well and I did more TRIALS than Rallies[read rougher]

Great shocker used it on the front of the Rally car with the Nissan spring until I could afford better and no they are not rebadged monroes.

Can you tell me which Nissan springs you used and what did you run in the rear?

The Nissan springs on the Front was as I mentioned in the other post from a Pintarra/Corsair front strut about $22 for a pair.

The rear was alway problematic and there was never a best solution always compromise. Started with KYB struts and Lovel springs, last 1 and 1/2 rallys and the springs had sticktion issues and the KYBs where stuffed. Then tried Koni inserts these did OK until the bolt fell off the bottom, happen to be in the middle of the Hellyer rally at the time. Fortunately the very rare thread that Koni use is the same as a bolt used in a Volvo so out mates from across Bass Straight just happen to have one in their bolt tin. Again the Konis where shagged after three rallys. At the end just gave up and sold the car. However new car different story got shocks built by SG Leslie and Sons work great at controlling standard springs will go over to Kings, fortunately running a early model so the rear springs are linear.
