Pedders aren't much stiffer in the rates then king's. Emailed dobinson, Lovell, king's and Pedders for their rates when I was chopping and changing in my senator.

Lovells the stiffest of shelf. Pedders sports riders about the same or a little under the hd king's from memory.

I've got hhd in the caprice and compared to the stock hd king's it hooks so much better. They're a custom order towing spring for a ute and 600-1000lbs/inch. It doesn't squat as much which everyone thinks gets you off the line better but in my opinion it doesn't.

Drops about an inch on launch and holds it til top of first then settles after the drop into second. I now plan on running these springs in every it's commodore I own. This is the second one and absolutely no complaints at all.

For fog lights, try Shane at DBR Holden wreckers....Barndoota Street Salisbury Plains...He is as cheap as for stuff if he has got it....

BTW, love the music in the clip....Top choice :)

Thank you mate i will deff try mark he is just around the corner from me too

I noticed your location...Hence my suggestion...:) And I'm quite surprised I haven't seen your rides, as I'm around the Salisbury area and have mates around your area too...

I bought a pair of front VT calipers and flexible lines from him ($20) and a pair of VS front seats, in perfect condition for $50....So his prices are pretty darn good

Nice effort mate, she's come along way. I was relieved to see the height adjustment on those rims much better :)

So what's the plan for 12's?
