This will be on my daily driver on some of the worst streets in America (Brooklyn, NY). There's a discrepancy of about $100-120 between the two choices. The Nex SS don't have adjustible damping. What should I rock with?

 

Neither.

Get Konis, shorten them and run springs no lower than 1.7".

 

at the least, put illuminas with the progress springs

 

I like my agx/progress setup, but I am not driving through brooklyn...and I plan to once again auto-x occassionally....

 

I just saw the GD for K-sports... I've made my decision. Just save and wait, do it right the first time.

 

Ksport = cheaply made, flimsy parts, and noisy as hell. I would suggest something else for your hard earned money.

 

Yeah they were MUCH better back in the day. Mine were perfect.... They made no noises what so ever. I would invest in progress or boss chens or if you don't want to pay that price or wait for them then D2's. I haven't heard of anyone complaining about them blowing out or anything. They did have a problem in the past with noise but I have heard from numerous people that problem was solved.

 

Awww man, but the GD was so good. I guess I'll have to wait till August when I can get the D2s. I'll do a search, but what problems are people having with K-sports? I haven't heard anything bad about them.

 

must.........resist.....a...s....k......d...0...0. .d........ah...can't do it.....

just go look at the advanced suspension forum....

 

go with coilover... I had k-sport, blown the rear-right strut. maybe it's just my luck. seen some ppl like it, and some ppl don't. so back to your decision, but again, you got what you paid for.

 

if it was between Ksports and D2s, what wud you guys get? Im thinking D2's, the group deal is going on for 840 shipped

 

I spoke with d00d in PMs... he recommended a crazy Koni setup (3rd gen Red fronts, 4th gen Yellow backs, 7/6kg springs). I've had Koni shocks on my last two cars and I love them, but I really don't know if I'm ready to make the GC/Koni investment...

I've ridden in cars with the generic Taiwanese coilovers (Omnipower, Nex I believe) and they rode decently. The only thing is, this was in Hondas. I know the Maxima chassis is more flimsy than them, and will transmit much more shock to the cabin with stiffer springs. But the Konis are proven... I dunno...
