• Individually shock dyno tested as a complete system with existing OE hardware for quality assurance and performance
• Restores the ride height of the Sorento
• Pedders gas shocks made from heavy duty twin-tube gas construction with reinforced double welded mountings for durability
• Complete kit designed and valved to work as a system
• Easy and low cost way to convert from coil overs
• Backed by a 2 year / 40,000 km warranty

Product Overview

This conversion kit replaces the original self-levelling rear suspension system, which uses weaker springs and hydraulic shocks that carry vehicle weight. The Pedders kit supplies matched dampers and springs designed to restore the correct vehicle height and eliminate reliance on self-levelling shocks. This improves control and handling, especially when towing heavy trailers or carrying heavy loads. It suits both Sorento models fitted with or without the factory self-levelling option. The kit is compatible regardless of wheel size, although height measurements are based on 16 inch wheels.

Technology & Materials

Pedders gas shocks use heavy duty twin-tube gas construction technology and feature reinforced double welded mountings. The complete suspension kit is designed and valved as a system to optimise performance and durability for the vehicle application.

Installation & Compatibility

This kit bolts directly in using existing original equipment hardware with no modifications or extra parts required. It fits Kia Sorento vehicles with pin style shock mounting manufactured after June 2007; earlier loop mount styles require a different kit. A professional wheel alignment is recommended after installation. If you regularly tow or carry heavy loads, a stiffer spring version of this kit is available.

Suitable for vehicles with and without factory self-levelling suspension. Designed for improved ride height and control rather than heavy-duty off-road use.
