    I can tell you from experience that Kings are shit, had a pair in the rear of my old R30 when I got it. On hard takeoffs the rear would bottom out (even with stock L24E power), and rear body roll was worse than with the stock springs.
    They lasted about a week before I threw them in the bin for cut stockers. Which felt 12434727895648957435348x better.

    +1 for bad experience with kings.

    Got a set of "lows" for a KE70 once - looked great but sagged and I found them to be far too soft for even spirited driving...

    Also, heard a rumour that "superlows" were taken off the market because too many ricers were getting defects.

    would be good, cuase dont take this the wrong way, the guy that was standing behind me (previously run Peddars in Penrith) totally disagree's with king spring making peddars springs and the that peddars spring are put under alot more stress test's etcetc compared to king springs (you get what you pay for)

    From what I understand, there are very few spring manufacturers in this country

    The place that makes my springs, makes pedders springs here,

    theyve said kings make pedders springs in qld and browns in melb, etc etc

    A customer of mine asked to get some springs done in red, I was told No, we have a contract with Pedders......

    Also looking at the part number similarities
