Well its come to that time where i think its time to update mine.. im going to get a 24mm one on the front as thats the biggest you can go and im looking at a 20mm one for the rear..
Think thats enough in the rear.. dont want to be doing any wheel stands when cornering..:P
Im interested to see what people put on there cars and to see what there thoughts are about them and if they would of put bigger or smaller than they did if they had another chance..
Thanks for your help guys..

22mm adjustable rear on stiffest setting. Factory front.
Can't see you doing "wheelstands" while cornering, but don't be surprised if you lift the inside rear wheel while negotiating driveways at an angle.
I don't regret getting 22mm rear, or having it on the stiffest setting. Even with 140 odd kW at the front wheels, understeer is almost non existent, and have only experienced "lift-off oversteer" once, and it was more than predictable.
One day I might upgrade the front one, but it's not high on the list of priorities at the moment.

Whiteline. Pretty sure they are based in Sydney, or Shawn from Phillcom should be able to get you a decent price.

i have the adj rear with stock front and strut brace on kings SL/L and factory exec shocks (i know, i know, not for long). i haven't tested the limits yet because i owe 2much on it, but to me it just does feel "right". it still seems very floaty, but i guess thats the shocks mostly. with coil-overs it would be choice i believe.
on a cruise just nicely ask a couple of guys with diff setups for a quick dash round the parking lot... u don't need to go fast or pull handbrakies to feel the difference. if u try a stock suspension car, one with stock suspension and swaybar, and one with kings,etc and swaybars surely u could picture the type of diff it'd make with ur coil-overs.
now for the hijack
guys with the adjustable 1's...
there is 3 holes on the bar itself... i believe its the hole to the front of the car thats the stiffest correct??? now my brackets to attach the links 2 have 2 holes... any1 know which is which??

Yes, hole closest to the front of the vehicle is the "loosest". The further toward the rear of the bar you mount the links, the less vertical flex is possible. You can get a feel for it yourself if only one side is bolted up, grab the other side and try and flex it up and down. It's simple lever principle - if you grab the very end of the bar, you will probably be able to move it abit, if you grab futher down you will have trouble moving it at all.

Guys,
Make sure you order the castor kit (with antilift) too. I had the 24mm front bar on for 3 weeks before I had the castor kit put on and I was suffering from major understeer. Castor sorted this problem and made the car much nicer too drive!!
