K-sport is the hands down worst engineered coilover on the market. their spring rates are horriable. stay away

I went through the search and read alot of the threads, but found no concrete answers. There's alot of mixed reviews on the Ksport. Some people like them some people don't. Some say it rides nice and soft not bouncy, some say it's too bouncy.

With any coilover you want to pay close attention to your spring rates lest it wind up "bouncy"

in most cases of coilovers ( not just Ksport ) being "too bouncy" we ( our shop) typically find the spring tension has been set wrong.......

Ksports have ride height adjustment independent on spring tension, nad this is usually where the error occurs

Honestly for the money it would be hard to find a better coilover....

Are there better ones on the market? yes..quite certainly...but for more money.

If you are looking for a good "everyday" coilover then I have no problem reccomending them.

go back and read member "phoenixr34" build thread....

he has alot of experience with them
