i have no affiliation with Pedders what so ever, just from my experience i find Pedders to be a much better product built to much higher standards. your entitled to your opinion and im entitled to mine. Unlike alot of people i dont just want to slam my car to the ground for that "look" i also want to maintain handling performance. im sure there are many arguments on threads about silly things like this so im going leave it at that. maybe do some research on product testing on the net for King and Pedders products... just saying.

Considering I participate in motorsport events with my car Id say handling is high on my priority list. With the King SSLs and a wheel alignment setup for handling not tyre wear the car corners beautifully while also being pleasing to the eye.

I never trust product comparisons as theres always someone putting money in someones pocket for a good result.

like i said, everyone has their own opinions. maybe its just that King springs have varied product qualities because i have friends that have been through hell with their Kings (compression issues, uneven ride heights, camber problems etc.) but switched to Pedders and the problem goes away. good to know that you have got a "good" set of springs in your car.

looks good. also, i have heard that with the ssv wheels on VY/VZ commodore cos the wheel is so wide you get scrubbing on the inside of the trye casue by rubbing against a strut or something, but can be fixed by using a arrower tryre? is this true cos its turned me off from getting them for my car. im going to be getting ssz 18s instead of the ssv 19s

Who knows, Ive been running kings in all my cars since '98 and had quite a few cars, no issues at all.
