I'm just curious, for those of you who have made the switch from hotchkis springs to Ksports, is it much worse?

I know that coilovers will he harsher than springs, but I'm curious if I will be breaking my back daily driving in the city/highway.

Thanks guys, I'm on the fence...but ITCHING to get a set of Ksports!

 

You've been debating this how long!?

You already know my feelings. I should have bought the KSports instead of Hotchkis springs...

 

How does it handle Bumps/daily driving?

My single gripe I have is that the damping adjusters don't actually "click", which could make for an interesting time when I'm trying to tweak it.

EDIT: they do click, I guess it was for a specific vehicle application that they didn't "click" when adjusting the damping.

 

Coilovers for sure.....

 

i think the price for coilovers vs springs. just gotta save a little more $

 

After seeing the sale that bean_garage had on ksports, I literally couldn't pass it up! They are now sitting on my floor....as I debate putting them on RIGHT before crappy weather, or waiting for spring.

 

Blah blah blah. Do it.

 

^^^Yes want he said. I'm curious to hear your impression of them after a week or two.

 

Alright RT it's been a month now any reviews?

 

Waiting until spring to put them on...sorry to have kept you guys in suspense!

I will be doing a review once they are on, but with finals and being an art major, I have been pulling 10-13 hour days working on projects for the last 2 weeks.

Next on the list (over xmas break) is the lsd install into the camry trans and auto-manual swap.

 

Nice

 

I just put my K-Sports on last night. I haven't even done and alignment yet so I only drove the 3-4 miles home. My first impression is they are a little bouncy. However, I still need to do some adjustments, I just didn't have time. Also, I'm pretty low so i expected it to be a little bouncy. Here is a pic.

 

Sooo, my mechanic who is helping me with my 5 speed swap decided HE couldn't wait anymore to put my ksports on! They are currently on the car, but I won't be anywhere near it for at least 4-5 days (18 hours this semester + no car = hard to get to a shop 20 miles away).

Hope to post up pictures and a review soon. He informed me that (In his professional opinion) a 1 finger gap all around was acceptable, and that was as high as it was going.

My tires (tirerack is having an awesome sale on the new kumho exsta 4x's, plus a $50 gift card), will be here tommorow, and mounted to my new (to me) wheels soon also!

 

Can't wait! Going to be rad!!!

 

Oyevay.

Its a no-go until at least spring break.

I made sure everyone involved understood that I was SUPER limited on time, and that everything would need to be done quickly. Everyone seemed to understand...but I suppose they just didn't really care. (don't get me wrong, I used to be a mechanic myself, and understand setbacks).

The lsd isn't even in the trans yet, even though it was dropped off over a week ago, and I was told it would take 1 solid day of work to get it done.

Unfortunately, that didn't happen, and everyone thought I was joking about having a tight schedule....

Oh well, I'll just keep looking forward to it over spring break :D

 

Did this ever happen?
