Looks good do you rub at all? What size tires are you running?
No rubbing at all. Just the little flaps in front of the front wheels (you can see them in the pics) rub on uneven roads every now and then, but that is no big deal. I think I could go lower, but I'm liking the stance right now, plus I don't want my rear camber completely out of whack. I'm letting my springs settle for a week or two, then I'm gonna get it aligned again.

My tires are:
Hankook Ventus V12 evo K110
Fronts: 215/40 ZR 18
Rears: 245/35 ZR 18

They ride very well. Nice and firm, not too harsh. This is my second set of K Sports (had a set on my GS-R and I was very happy with them). I drove the HELL out of my first set on my GS-R for over a year before the car was sold, and they held up great, gave me no problems, and the car was SLAMMED. You definitely know it when you hit a bump or valley in the road, but it’s nothing different than what you would feel with coilovers that are 3x the price. So far they feel great and I’m happy with my purchase. I’m lowered quite a bit, and have all of the struts set on the softest setting.

As far as comparing them to others, I’ve owned Tein Flex’s, the GC/Koni setup, and KYB AGX’s/Skunk2 adjustable springs, and I pretty much like these the best. The Tein Flex’s were nice, but are about twice the price of the K Sports, and definitely not twice as good. The GC/Koni setup is too harsh because of the way you have to pre-load the spring, and the Skunk2’s were waaaaaaaay too harsh. So for the money, the K Sports have always been the best bang for the buck in my opinion.

Any sports car that is lowered significantly and handles well is going to ride like shit compared to normal car or luxury cars. That is just how it goes. However, if you pick the right components and tune it right, you’ll be able to get a somewhat decent feeling ride out of a slammed car.
Thanks. i was looking at k sport for my turbo integra. i was leaning toward that too. my buddies with skunk2 on his hatch is way to stiff and my cheap kyb and coil sleeve ride soft and good but i was looking for something a little more room to play with. i also got the mono flex on my s2000 also and i love them. by far the best i have riden in.
