sup folks.
we are purchasing coilovers for my wifes tC and have stubbled across a good deal on here for some kSports..
looking for some owner opinions on ride comfort as i have a 17month old toddler that is always in the car..
we will not be going balls low, but looking to drop it more then rl's offer, which is what we almost bought.
we are used to being low and are not scared, so do the ksports go near b&g low, i have a GTI and my kSports nearly had me tucking rim on a 17..
thanks for any help..
pics for reference.

heard some bad things about rl (struts blowing) good thing you decided away from those for a toddler on board. bg max drop is 3.5. i think ksport is 2.5 or 2. someone correct me if im wrong. i'd go with ksports though rl's are pure ____

Raceland do go pretty low but are known for being a good price but poor products.. K sport Kontrol are ok to me. I haven't heard any negative but also not that much positive. If the deal you have is to good to pass up then go with wut your gut says and get em..lol

the plaid was only till i did a full r32 headliner and pillars.
yeah ive read some of that thread and it dont answer my main question..

but we decided to wait for suspension until february tax season makes its way around then we will most likely get a custom air ride set up and match it with the 17x11 wheels we want to run..

Personal experience:

For comfort & decent drop, Eibach Sportline coils w/ factory dampers.

By simply changing dampers to Koni yellows will transform the handling to something worthy of a racecar.

ksports are one of the lowest coilovers out there. they are pretty stiff but not unbarable.
