anyone in the forum installed one of those Ksport air suspension kit? how does it ride?

 

i know a local kid to me and he did the k sport air ride and ive heard that hondas with cut springs ride better.... the car lays motor when its bagged but the ride DEF leaves something to be desired when driving....

 

That's what he had

could have sworn he had a modded universal kit

 

never mind.. I have to pass on it.. its just that i can seem to find a good..durable suspension for the max.. i had 2 sets of stocks blown out.. .then by the recommendation of this forum and my mechanic... i got kyb GR2....installed in feb and blown already..

 

From everything I've learn. Coilovers are the way to go if your gonna drop it. That's what I'm gonna get when I drop my ride. Other aftermarket parts are a gamble sometimes. It can work well for some and for others. It's horrible.

Coilovers are much better in quality and are more durable. Also, the struts are designed to work with the springs themselves. Compared to mixing and matching in general.



Here's what I found when I googled it on the internet using "coilovers vs springs". Lots of good info:

im not looking to drop.. just a good ride with a durable shock/strut.. I'm gonna switch to honda.. lol

 

LOL Well, good luck on your search. It seems like the roads in your area are pretty rough since the stockers aren't doing it for you.

 

That's what I thought, UAS. From what I remember, none of his parts were orange.

 

Monroe Sensa Trac are your best bet. I have them and they are worth the extra cost versus KYB and the others. The Max will never handled bumps as smoothly as it should but with these shocks it's a lot better and highway cruising is perfect.

 

my mechanic recommends against monroe.. he told me they are total crap...so I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place... 6th gens have too many issues man... i need a new ride...

 

kyb GR2 aren't great, where do you live that your blowing out your struts?. Do you have like 10 people in the car and go off roading? The monroe should have a good warranty. If they are crap at least you can swap them out with warranty ones...

 

Monroes have a lifetime warranty. I've had mine for about 3 years and I swear by them. There are several others on here that swapped out to the Monroes. I had my OEM struts changed 3 times on stock springs for a blown strut before switching. I had the Monroes dropped with Progress springs for a while too and no problems. I switched back to OEM springs b/c of the crappy roads here in Cleveland, OH. Good luck on finding replacements and report back what you switched to.

 

i live in nyc.. no i don't go off roading or carry a full car...at any time... its just me and the wife....

 

Monroes are ur ticket.

 

my stock springs ride fine and I live in a area with Shi%%y Roads. I think the stocks are good. Maybe just not if the car is lowered

 

How is ride on an air spring for you guys? Stock suspension on my 04 max se is a bit stiff. Any deals on those??
