Product Description

Transform the handling and stance of your C5 or C6 Corvette with the Pedders eXtreme XA Adjustable Coilover Kit (PED-161200). Designed for enthusiasts who want substantially more control over their suspension setup, the XA kit replaces the factory transverse leaf-spring suspension with a true coilover configuration featuring 30-position adjustable dampers and independent ride-height adjustment.

The fully threaded monotube dampers allow the Corvette to be lowered approximately 1 to 3 inches, giving you the ability to dial in everything from a subtle street-oriented drop to an aggressive track-inspired stance. Adjustable damping lets you further tune the suspension for ride quality, handling response, tire setup, and driving environment.

With 7 kg/mm front and 10 kg/mm rear spring rates, gas-pressurized monotube dampers, alloy-steel motorsport springs, and factory-style mounting brackets, the eXtreme XA kit is equally at home on a performance street car or weekend track build. It's an excellent option for Corvette owners who have outgrown conventional shocks and lowering bolts and want significantly more suspension adjustability.

Why Upgrade?

The factory C5/C6 suspension is remarkably capable, but it offers limited adjustability when you start changing ride height, tires, alignment settings, or how the car is used. The Pedders eXtreme XA Coilover Kit gives you control over two of the most important suspension variables: ride height and damping.

That makes it particularly attractive for modified Corvettes where a one-size-fits-all shock and factory leaf spring combination is no longer ideal. You can lower the car for improved stance and a lower center of gravity, then adjust damper stiffness to suit street driving, aggressive back-road use, autocross, or track days.

For owners considering a full suspension overhaul rather than simply replacing worn shocks, the Pedders XA offers a significant increase in adjustability without moving into the price range of high-end motorsport coilovers.
