Are they both the same?
Some make them as progressive rate springs and some have heavier guage wire than others so are they 17,18, or 19mm wire and are they progressive rate. I personally go for the non progressive rate with the thickest wire but they are hard as nails right from the word go. |

If you are just getting the springs it probably doesn't matter which you choose. They will be very similar in height and performance.

Give Craig a call at Aussie Car Enhancements, demand a discount as you are from AFF, and you will get top service with King springs.

Pedders in mine are heaps better than the kings they replaced. Rides the same but it corners alot better.

i believe king springs have SSL now & from what ive told pedders also make custom springs for the height you want.
id be asking myself at what height do i want the car sitting and which spring offers that at what cst etc cos either way there both just springs & unless you have koni shox, camber kits etc in the picture there isnt much difference in quality between pedders & kings springs IMO. give suspension city nth melb provost st a call or visit who supply kings & make a offer ;)
