You must be a very patient person- it would drive me mad. A standard NB gives adequate clearance to use it reasonably easily though some driveways can be a challenge- i.e. design height was intended to make the car usable. My observation of Pedders is that they are expensive.It should not be difficult to return the car to standard height and it does not need to cost a lot money.You may not even need to use new parts. I suggest get some quotes and ask them to explain or even show you whats involved- they can take a look on a hoist.

Cherry wrote:Thanks everyone. I will put an ad in the WTB section. Just FYI as asked in previous posts, I'm on the Gold Coast. Also, I measured and the its 30cm from the centre of the hub to the bottom of the wheel guard. Is 30cm considered low or regular height from the ground?


50mm lower than stock according to first post on this:
