I have Pedders Coilovers on mine, zero complaints from me. Had them on 3 cars now without any issue, the adjustment of height with Coilovers is the biggest draw card for me.
Are there better Coilovers? Absolutely, Shockworks and MCA have a great rep, but for me the Pedders do the job perfectly.
The ride is what you should expect, quite firm but even on 20’s it is far from harsh/uncomfortable.
King/Monroe combo must not be too bad as there are tonnes out there running around with them and would be a fair bit easier on the wallet too.

Kings and Monroe’s aren’t that great I’d go for some decent coil overs if you can afford it

I think people love the price point mostly and live with it being alright.

True yea, I’m not too stoked with my Monroe gt sport shocks that I put in the rear of my ve they’ve done 6-7k and already seem like they’re flogged compared to when they were new

I'm not a big fan of the bc golds personally. Unsure what they're like in Aus cars but have always preferred the Japanese made coil overs in jap cars over BC.
