King's being the biggest, caterred for a lot of other brand's outsourcing needs when it came to their springs. When it came time for me to buy springs for my WG, after chats with a few suspension shops I was told that OME, Tough Dog, and Ironman springs come out the King's factory... Now I've quizzed a ARB rep at Perth 4wd show, and he denied this and was adament that OME make their own stuff...
I'm not 100% sure either way, but this is what I've been told, so I'm putting the info out there...
If they are made by the same mob, then I guess the advantage to buying OME is that you can choose from their different spring rates (ie soft, med, hard).
Also i've heard from one person (Hemijeepy) that King springs sag really fast... I cannot vouch for this as I've had mine for about 6 months and my WG sits as tall as it did on day 1. And I've never seen this happen on other vehicles with King springs, but none of them being heavier 4wds either, so time will tell...
