From what i have read on here many times, steer clear of Pedders. I have Kings and i love them. Try our sponsor Philcom (http://aussiemagna.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=28) i got mine off him great price

Here's the list of springs which I would consider, in order of cheapest to most expensive & best.

King springs - they are readily available and lots of people have them so they can't be bad.
K-Mac - can do custom springs for relatively any height and firmness. (my personal preference)
Coil-Overs may be available - not sure of the brand, is it K-Speed, or is that a brand of wheels? I think Philcom had info on coilovers, check their section of the sponsors forum for details.

from what i have heard,king springs are on the stiffer side and would be better suited to a track or hooning around, as opposed to pedders which have a softer spring rate, better suited to daily driving...

Be carefull of softer springs, had kmacs in the ralliart when I bought it which were fine in Sydney with good roads but in Adelaide they would bottom out all the time making the ride seem rougher. I now have king springs which are harder on small bumps but rarely bottom out

OP, what are you looking for in your springs? Performance? Sitting so low that you tuck rim? Practicality? There's no such thing as a 'best' spring - what's best will depend on your priorities.

King Springs are definitely stiffer than the stock Magna springs, but I've been in assortment of stock-standard cars that ride stiffer than my Magna on Kings/KYBs. They certainly aren't just for tracking/hooning.
