Pedders Rear Suspension Conversion Kit for Kia Sorento & Hyundai SantaFe CM

This rear suspension conversion kit replaces the original self-levelling system for Kia Sorento and Hyundai SantaFe CM vehicles. It is designed for users who frequently carry heavy loads or tow trailers, restoring the original ride height and improving control under load.

Key Features

• Supplied as a matched set of springs and shocks
• Individually shock dyno tested as a complete suspension system mated to existing OE hardware
• Restores standard height for Sorento and Santa Fe rear suspension
• Gas shocks feature heavy duty twin-tube gas construction and reinforced double welded mountings
• Designed and valved as a complete system for optimal performance
• Easy and low cost conversion from coil overs
• Backed by a 2 Year / 40,000km warranty

Product Overview

This kit replaces the original self-levelling rear suspension which has a weaker spring and a shock absorber with hydraulic self-levelling. Failure of the self-levelling function results in lowered vehicle stance due to reliance on the spring alone. The Pedders kit supplies matched dampers and springs to maintain correct ride height and improve damping, especially when towing or carrying heavy loads.

Suitable for daily driving and demanding load-carrying, this heavy duty kit ensures better control and restores factory ride height without modifications. It fits vehicles with or without the self-levelling system and is compatible across various wheel sizes.

Technology & Materials

Pedders gas shocks are built with heavy duty twin-tube gas technology combined with reinforced double welded mountings, ensuring durability under heavy loads and towing conditions. The matched spring and shock design offers consistent, reliable performance as a system.

Installation & Compatibility

This kit bolts in directly using existing original equipment hardware, requiring no vehicle modifications or extra parts. It is an easy, low-cost conversion from coil over setups. Professional wheel alignment is recommended after installation to optimise handling and tyre wear.

The heavy duty variant is designed for regular heavy load and towing use; a softer spring kit is available for normal transport use.

• Rear vehicle height: 745mm with 16 inch wheels
