K-sport springs

Anyone riding on K-sport springs?? Not, the coilovers, just the springs. Apparently they have 2.2" drop in the front and 2" in the rear. Just wondering how the ride quality is.

Thanks

I don't think there's any way they'll be comfortable. With that much of a drop they'll have to be stiff as hell to keep you off the bumpstops. And if they're not, then they'll be too soft and you'll do nothing BUT ride the bumpstops.

Those springs have a poor reputation. Stay away...

I loved the set I had on my Scion, but can't speak for the Maxima.

I have a set on my 95 Maxima. They ride just like stock and I had them since January with my stock struts and no problems. K-Sport Spring are probably better than the coilovers..

2.2/2 is a hideously crazy drop for just springs. You will smack the bumpstops daily, guaranteed.

If by "probably better than" you mean "a total joke compared to", then I agree with you.
