ksport is reliable...? how many people are selling their coilovers with at least one blown shock?



Plus, I think AFFORDABLE is more of the word.

hotchkis, btw check the classifieds for used springs with low miles. do you plan on installing them yourself to save more money or do you not have money for them? save a bit more to get better quality and brand new springs.

I was going to go with some Tein H-Tech but then i realize i wanted some coilovers. So i saved and went out and bought some Ksport Kontrolpros. Good set too.

ksport can be reliable if the set up properly... just like most coilovers and struts... ksport is your closest reach for a coilover. if u want springs only, you will tend to blow your stock struts down the road and would have to fork out $500+ for struts... save up for some coilover and you'll be glad that you did.

If you can spend just a bit more, TRD springs are quality and you can install them yourself.
