We do not sell the front and rear separately. IF you did something like that the rear would end up lower than the front.

Dang I was hoping you sold the rears separately. How do your springs compare to pedders 220033 in terms of drop and spring rate?

Excuse me if I am wrong but from reading this forum it seems dropping the rear only is want to do on a 1le:

I'm not after looks but to get a small pickup in handling. How is the suspension travel in the front with your lowering springs?

First, I think it is important to point out that Pedders USA is no longer in business so they are not going to be an option. However the Pedders part number you listed is 1.5" rear drop spring where ours is a 1.25". I have not seen an official listing of the spring rate but from what I understand it is 433 lb/inch where ours is 210 front and 395 rear. The Pedders spring is a linear rate spring and ours is a progressive rate so it will soak up bumps and cracks in the road better.

Suspension travel with our springs is more than sufficient. I have never experienced them bottoming out.

These are the "old" Pfadt springs correct? If so they were the closest linear rate to factory specs out of all the brands. I messed up and installed Eibachs because I didn't know progressive rate springs weren't as good on the 1LE struts.

Since I haven't ever tracked my car (road course) I don't feel like spending the $ on springs, the labor time of swapping and another alignment.
