yea i've heard mixed reviews about them too, ride is nice from what i hear, but the common problem they have is the shocks will go out quick. not sure if it's an installation problem, or flawed design. "whiteonblack" has them on his 4th gen and he seem to enjoy the ride.

my friend has them on his tC and they ride awsome. thier pretty stiff and they are 32 or 36 way adjustables, u can adjust the camber, ride height and spring compression. i think their great. i love driving his car it really improves the performance of the car a lot

Yes if you click on the link that I posted above and scroll down alittle they have them for our car. That is why I want to know weather they are a good company or not cause if more people think they are then I will have to jump on this. I emailed tein and they said they have no plains do do anything with out max and seeing as how they didnt have the 6th gen max done I doubt they will ever get to ours.

Here is the email back to me from KSport:

Actually we do have a new application for the 09-up maxima, we will have
them listed on our website shortly, so no the 04-08 ones do not fit, but we
do have the ones you need. If you have any other questions please let me
know.


Thanks,

I am trying as we speak to work something out with them to test this on my car and write a review for them so that you guys can all see how the product is from my point of view.

my ksports are ehhh so so.. it all depends on where u live man. if you have tons of bumps all over the place like ny then its not worth it but if you are in a place with nice smooth roads then you'll be good. i dont have much problems with mine. they ride fine

What problems do you have with them if any? Well where I live which is in New Britain, CT I would say that they roads aren't bad but they are very very bumpy in some places. So it could go either way. I'm just interested in knowing what issues with yours other than road issues that you are having or have had.??

there crap. dampening sucks and the adjusters on them almost certainly do not do what what you think they do. prob wouldn't really matter if your not going to auto-x, track a lot...

Ive had mine for about a yr and i replaced the strut cartridges once and ever since they have been fine. the dampening definitely doesnt doo too much though. on the softest setting they are still stiff and on the stiffest its just extremely stiff lol. not much issues other than blown strust though. Its a good coilover system for the money i spend and i dont regret it at all

I came across this vendor on CL with a post about having deals on KSport coilovers while looking for some goodies for my Lex. Thought you guys may benefit from that.

I have my Maxima on order, so flipping excited!

I am still highly hesitant in buying these no-name coilovers. IME you get exactly what you pay for with coilovers and that isn't something you want to cheap out on. Don't get me wrong I would love to have a set on my Max but I think I am going to wait until a trusted company starts manufacturing them.

Ya I feel the same way but they aren't just a no name company they are actually well known with hondas as far as i've heard around. But they seem to be a very reliable company. I would love to get a set of Tien Coilovers but who knows when they are ever going to come out with anything for the 7th gen if they do that is.

you gotta be kidding k-sport is a big well established company who isn't going any where and makes great products. i have a set on my 6th gen and yes there stiff. but they also offer custom spring rates so if its to stiff for you talk to them and they will help you select a spring rate so a more comfortable ride.. basicaly if your not solely looking for a performance coil overe k sport isnt for you.. IMO
