I think you will find the white line springs are the king springs.

as for ride comfort - they are both same same.

whiteline maintains that they design their own springs and get manufacturers to make it for them

Yeah that's what their website say's.

How's your works kit going anyway?

Am hoping to get one also - may as well do things properly i reckon - is the setup not too stiff for daily driving? And how is wet weather traction & handling? Also is understeer out of corners under hard acceleration improved greatly?

Just saw you kind of answered this question in another thread - so forget about the stiffness part - but would love to hear your feedback on the other 2 parts - particularly wet weather.

mate LOVIN IT... commented on them in the thread below

unfortunately i haven't been really pushing it because its pretty new and i have been hearing noises... nothing major the guy at whitelines says probably the cv joints needs a little loosening. i thought i was a little hard at first but now it seemed perfect... it's much harder compared to stock and u feel most of the bumps ur travelling on ... but i m more than willing to forego this for handling.

because i have aftermarket rims and tyres i cant really comment on the wet weather traction... my falkens are pretty slippery and i tend to drive slow in the wet.

with regards to understeer i dun think i have ever driven hard enough to have experienced understeer... so i dunno ... yea i do drive like a grandma :doubt: but i sure braked a lot less when negotiating turns now
