I have to apologise, becasue it is our fault, not jinsu. We had the kit at our photographers studio after shooting the pics you see on the first post. He decided to take a "very" long christmas vacation and we got the shipped out a few days ago. Once again we apologise.

he is not selling anything as I am the direct vendor under ksport. Ksport just wanted to make things clear so the customer will understand the situation.

i don't think it's a negative review, just the springs seems to be abit too stiff for his taste.

If they are stiff, I'd definately consider them. I know the Tein S-techs have too soft of a spring rate for it's drop so I hope the ksports have a stiffer spring rate. Jinsu, do you have the spring rate data on these ksport springs?

It's really hard to say what the spring rate the ksport gt springs are as they are progressive (like eibach). The spring rate changes as the force applied to the spring cahnges. Tein's spring on the other hand is linear.
the estimate rate for the maxima kit is in range of 2kg~25kg. ie. the first inch of the spring would be 2kg, the next inch is 5kg then 10kg so on and so forth.

The problem is there isn't much suspension travel left with a 2+ inch lower on springs and struts. Before the springs can compress and become stiffer, the suspension will probably bottom out.

hmm, i dont see where that is a problem, from all of the ones we ran they allow the shock plenty of travel, are you saying yours doesnt have travel?

if the "other" brand is softer than ours, and has the same drop i dont see where ours would have the travel problem. Im not being smart, just trying to understand customer feedback.

Well I would like to give these springs a try. I'm on Eibach/AGX right now and I prefer my suspension to be stiff. Hopefully I can get those demo springs from maximillion and write a review for everyone. I was actually comparing them to the TEIN S-techs which have 3.6kg front and 5kg rear linear rates.
