Yeah, I'm thinking about getting KSports. Would they work with stock shocks?

eBay is right or you can directly call Ksport and order. They would work with stock shocks...a couple people on here get away with it, but its not recommended.
Progress is said to be more comfertable...than stechs, which is true. But after trying Progress, the comfort is similar to Ksport however,Ksport has a lower drop which will make the car look much better.

S-techs give you a nice drop, but the ride is harsh for a daily driver.

Sutter and his Orange Juice again....

TLM, Harsh?! I just drove a max w/ S.Techs/AGXs (set on full stiffness), even that's better than my ride w/o my expensive tires.

Also where in the OP does he mention ride comfort? Or even the option for other springs? Just answer the guys question.... Jeez.

aackshun, maybe its just my struts. I have the S-techs and Tokiko blues on my winter car, and I find it to be hard going over sharp bumps in the road, or on uneven road surfaces. I hate when I hit a small bump, and I get that "BANG"....I never got that with my H-techs.

OMFG! I know what you mean man, play with your tires and their PSI. I thought I was hopeless until I started playing around w/ my tires, hell I even got these Potenza's RE050s to stop banging around so much... But the ride isn't as great as my Pilot Sports were, but definitely not like the other Potenza's (RE960 and S-02s) I've tried... I have 225/45/17s now (I had 235s/45s/17s before).

Braadddddd where are you?! Get this thread back on track w/ your 19s!!!

I couldnt agree more with you guys. I was miserable with s-techs, tried some others that wasnt low enough...then i tried Ksport and thats where night turned into day. A couple more fellows on here have them...and its been the same result for them. But hey...lets give montwalker the picture on 19's as he asked.

Nope, and I dont need to. They have the same drop as S-techs. Youre on the bump stops up front and almost there out back either way. It wont ride any differently. Ive said it a million times, there is not enough travel with stock/tokico/kyb struts.

Eibach, H-tech, H&R & Tokico are my top picks.

They are too soft for how low they are but with the amount I took off and reinforced my bumpstops they never bottomed out. You can expect to look like my sig but a tad lower in the front. Also look forward to banging the crossmember on transitions with the 12lbs/in spring rate on those beeches.

^^ exactly...Ksport obviously has a better spring rate. With s-techs, most of the coils touch each other...not with Ksport. The is room for the spring to compress etc.

I have Tokico Illuminas and the Tokico Springs. To me it gives you good looks with great performance and comfort. They may not sit as low as some people want but I Love the ride and the performance I get out of them. Money well spent. Look in my sig with them on my 95. I swapped suspension from the 95 to the 98 I just got and the 98 sits a little lower with them.
