ksports coil overs

Was wondering if anyone has tried ksports coil overs? I searched around on the forums but didn't see much on it. I am thinking about getting the ksports CNS05-KP which can be seen here: http://www.redlinemotive.com/part-nu...t/cns05-kp.asp

I was originally going to get some tokico blues and a set of h&r sport springs. Part of the reason I am considering the ksports is because it comes with everything I need for a decent price. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks

they are decent coilovers. had a set on my 4th gen for 3 years. I've read that for the 5th gen, Tein SS is the only way to go.

Tein SS + how you drop the car = stock like feel.
There's a few guys on here with the Ksports and I havent heard too many complaints but it doesn't compare anywhere near the Teins.

I have KSports. They are a decent cheap alternative to COs. You can find them used relatively inexpensive. However, expect the pillow ball mounts to pop when you turn around corners. No way around that.

If I could do it again, I would save up for some Teins or JICs.

Thanks for all the input guys, sounds like I probably want a more stock feeling setup. I'll have to look into some H&R with Tokico blues.

H&Rs won't give you a stock feeling. If you want stock, then Blues with stock springs.
