spring and shock absorber
guys.. i just changed my standard spring with pedders lowering spring, and many people say that different spring rate will eventually blow my shock absorber . Is that true?
If it is true, i might get a pair of pedders rear suspension. They quote it for $300 including installation. Is it the correct price?

From my past experience ( a few years back ) Pedders suggested to me their springs came from Kings Springs. I brought King Springs from the Melb distributor and saved probably $40 a pair and gave them to pedders to put on when they did my shocks.
For the record, the car wasnt a FTO and the height was STD but +20% rate increase.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Pedder's are actually King springs, coz I have heard they rabadge Munroe shocks anyway
