Yes. You can still order. Ksport is redesigning the SpecV Kit as the JMD Sentra has different Suspension Setup. So you will get the new version which works even better.

First of all, if you can do strut removals, you sure as hell can do coilovers. It's easy.

Now, these vs. S-Techs/Illuminas... The Ksports use linear-rate springs that are much stiffer than the S-Techs (progressive rate springs, which have a soft section and a hard section), but they have shocks that are matched to the springs. Basically, what this means is that over the roughest pavement and most horrible bumps, the Ksports might jolt you a lot harder, but everywhere else they will be about the same if not better. I heard one account that the Ksports ride the same as, if not better than, Eibachs/Illuminas. You'll also scrape less on speed bumps and such with the Ksports because of the linear-rate springs (most aftermarket springs, including S-Techs, are progressive-rate, which means they have some give to them for the first little bit of travel).

From my own personal experience, I thought the Ksports rode decently when set to full-stiff -- it was rough, but the handling was more than worth it. Once I set them to a really soft setting, it was buttery smooth -- eerily close to stock (I'm not kidding). Illuminas are great, but there's no substitute for having shocks that are matched specifically to the springs.

And of course, in terms of handling, these will destroy S-Techs/Illuminas.

Will this GD continue through the summer, I know it was only for June, but there was another on in May, and I think this would be a nice Graduation Present... But my family and I are going to be in Hawaii until July 4th so I don't think that I will be able to get on this deal...

you should get your kit no later than early July if you order next week


as for the spec v Kit, the main redesign is foucing an mount position and overall functionality of the wit as the early model is based on jdm Speer which has different suspension geometry

KSport seems good as far as support goes. I ordered a set for my 2002 SE-R and they were not designed properly for the SE-R as they used a B15 sentra from overseas. I brought it to their attention and they are looking to have me a redesigned set in a couple weeks. I was the first to order these in the US, so they never had this issue before. The only thing that sucks is that I have to pay again for install.

I did it with a guy that manages an auto shop and he charged me half the price. So I am going to have to do the same again.

Ksport and D2 owners may tell you otherwise, but overall they're the about same... no better, no worse. These are just much cheaper (for now).

For people who have purchased the Ksports, are there any noise issues?
