Pedders USA

Pedders USA Lowering Springs, Coilovers, Sway Bars, Brake Kits, Bushings and More

 

Pedders has played a prominent role in the Australian automotive aftermarket industry since 1950. In 2004, Gravana Tuning began importing Pedders parts for the 2004-2006 Pontiac GTO, showcasing Pedders coilovers at the 2004 SEMA Show in Las Vegas. After a few years of building the Pedders brand name, Pedders USA became a reality, opening a North American facility selling specialized parts to automotive wholesalers and specialist workshops throughout the U.S. By 2010, Pedders USA had established industry partnerships with General Motors, Lingenfelter, Richard Petty and Saleen. Pedders has been featured on TV with West Coast Customs and in magazines such as Supercar builder. For each new chassis Pedders USA develops an integrated and engineered suspension solution. There is no fixed formula. Its not an exact science. Pedders identifies the weaknesses in the OE suspension and develop Pedders components to correct them. Pedders thinks like OE engineers, but without interference from sales, marketing and finance, so all Pedders parts suit the automotive enthusiast.

Pedders started in the USA with the fastest wide-body GTO on a road course. Next the fastest Chrysler 300C. Then Pedders USA's G8 and 5th Generation Camaro. When Pedders moved to Ford platforms, the results with the Saleen Mustang were the same. Pedders 'supercars' are developmental vehicles with purpose. Pedders upgrades everything to make certain that testing is performed at or above the levels of performance that customers will reach. Pedders documents every step of development in enthusiast forums so they can benefit from the hard work invested. Ride quality is subjective. Pedders test cars serve as daily drivers. As Pedders does R&D work in AU and in the USA, the goal is to achieve a Pedders feel: the ideal balance between civility and performance handling.  The current PEdders product line-up includes Coilovers, End Links, Shocks, Struts, Lowering Springs, Sway Bars, Polyurethane Bushings, Big Brake Kits, Brake Rotors and Brake Pads.

Pedders USA does not build parts for race cars; they make parts for the enthusiast driver that just happen to do extremely well on the race track. A fully Pedderized vehicle feels like a factory hot rod. It is quiet. It is comfortable. It handles. Pedders’ HHR SS Camaro on factory wheels and tires holds a steady .98 Gs on the skid pad. Pedderized the GTO, 300C, Charger, Challenger, Magnum, G8, Camaro and Mustang all pull more than 1.1 Gs on the skid pad while delivering high quality ride. That is the Pedders USA difference. Pedders makes bits that you will enjoy when you are behind the wheel.  Pedders USA is about people. Sure, they make products to fit cars, but they are building these parts for people who are passionate about their cars. Pedders makes them for you. Accesspeed is proud to offer Pedders products to our customers. With our lowest price match guarantee, you will always find the best combination of price and selection at Accesspeed.

Performance Master Cylinders and Brake Boosters

 

What is a master cylinder?

Simply put, the master cylinder in your vehicle generates the pressure needed for proper brake system function. The master cylinder converts the pedal pressure you apply with your foot into hydraulic pressure for the brake system. Your brake pedal is connected to your master cylinder using a pushrod. When you apply pressure to the brake pedal, the master cylinder pistons compress the brake fluid which pressurizes the brake lines. This pressure then pushes on the pistons in your brake calipers, and ultimately clamping the brake pads onto the rotors to slow and stop your vehicle.

 

How does a master cylinder work?

The pressure exerted on the brake pedal by your foot is converted into hydraulic pressure by the master cylinder. That pressure sends brake fluid through your brake lines and actuates the caliper pistons, which slows and stops your vehicle.

 

What is a brake booster?

The brake booster sits in between the master cylinder and driver's pedal and boosts pressure, making it easier to function when pressing the pedal. Surprisingly, it requires a great deal of force to compress the master cylinder pistons.
