I purchased the pedders suspension kit for my 2012 Kia Sorrento. The original suspension was the self leveling ones and after brake repairs to the rear i noticed wear and cracking around the bushing. I decided to try the pedders as I had heard good reviews and for £237 for springs and shocks. They were a lot cheaper than the dealer parts. First impression was the ride was urm. well, it was hard to describe. it was different. Not in a bad way but different.. It was a little firmer but not to much that it shook you about. It felt like the tyre's were over inflated and a bit loose My thoughts were. I've paid 1/4 of the price of dealer replacement shocks so I can live with a bit harder ride. That was 7 month ago. After a few weeks i couldn't get used to the feeling. the car felt a little strange to drive. It was a bit sloppy at the back end and funny going around the bends. My mot was due and I mentioned this to the mechanic so he gave the car a good going over and said he can't find any problems It could be the tyre's.. they were only 8 month old so I thought. Swap front to back and see if that improves the feel of the car. So off to the garage and got them to balance and track the wheels and swap the tyre's front to back. Didn't make a difference. I then took the car back to the mechanic who had fitted the pedders. I asked him to go through everything around the rear of the car and let me know if he found anything that could cause the difference in handling. Again he didn't find anything Now at this stage I'm not blaming the suspension as I'm struggling to get to the bottom of the problem. It could well be the difference in the suspension from the stock ones. Or it could be something else. I shall give it a few more months and see if any problem developes. If it does then great, I can fix it. If not then I will prob have to bite the bullet and purchase the original self leveling ones
