Kmac just rebadge Pedders shocks... theyre not all that great in terms of 'sportyness'.
go for some KMac springs & KYB shocks if you can budget it.
(not too sure on the Whitline stuff, so im not going to comment on it)

Man i never knew companies did that sort of thing..
Maybe i should just get KYB shocks and lowered springs and then spend the rest on new bushes and maybe a sway bar and a strut brace.
what do you guys rekon?

dont get jumboz!
the fronts i got which were 2 inch lower, were about half the height of the stockers, definately not captive plus it had the tendancy to skip along the road if you tried to brake over bumby roads.
the backs which were supposedly 1.5 inch lower, actually sat at stock height. also the rates were really dodgy too.
the kyb shocks are ok for the money, but go whiteline or kmac for springs.
or if you know someone in japan tokico hts for under 500 bucks for all 4!.
