Ksport is a reconized brand and has its share of great reviews on the net. I would say if you are looking into coilovers go with HKS or progress due to quality and not seeing any issues with either brand. Thats my 2 cents

thanks for the feed back i appreciate it im looking to get an aggressive drop 2" f 1.75" rear my galant had that and i thing thats just enough drop for it cuz im rollin 18's also with 35's............................ also you think ill need a camber kit or not cuz when i dropped my galant the front needed it but the rear was able to be put in factory spec without a kit

the ksports are a decent set of coilovers and cheap. you can raise and lower your car without changing the suspension travel. it's a pain to do cause you have to uninstall 1/2 the coilover. there's problems with the spring perch. you have to lock it or it will come loose. having an adjustable front sway bar end link helps with anyone who has hotchkis sways that are rubbing.

spring rate is very similar to tein coilovers. expect a harsh ride. you will have a front camber plate and you might be able to adjust the rear to an acceptable amount of camber. camber is not a bad thing.

if i were you, i would go with what boxman said.. HKS are very bery high quality, top notch, that is why they are so expensive.

or even progress, they are second best in my opinion. try H&R or B+G, those two are very good also.

we deal with k-sports all of the time, they make great products for a great deal.
if their Springs are anything like their coilovers They should be decent springs for daily driving with a managable drop

I also have a set of used hotckis springs I would sell to you for 100.00 shipped. They are recieved very well and would look good for the wheel and tire setup you have planned.
