I run the K Sports and have had no issues at all. Even had a few people ride in it and be suprised how well it rides.

Got my Ksports from Big J at NoLimitz... My xb handles and rides superbly. I dont care what anybody says about Ksport they make a quality coilover. If they can handle the roads of SoCal they can handle anything.. I also just did a trip up north in my xb and the ride wasn't uncomfortable at all.

Are these our ONLY coilover options?

Teins? Ksport? The D2s on Ebay? Cusco?

Teins are a VERY nice coilover. Fit and finish is superb and you won't be disappointed.

Stay away from K-sport. I know there hasn't been much problem yet with the xb2 setup but coming from my last platform I would never buy a set of them EVER. It was a 3000gt, wether it was FWD or the AWD platform I always here people having problem with them. I wish megan made coilovers for our car. Thats what I had last and there were awesome. I myself am considering the teins but have heard problems with them as well but this was with my 3000gt and it was there high end full adjustable EDFC kit

I'm thinking about getting the Teins before I slap on my new rims, but is it just me, or does anyone here actually have the Teins on their XB2???

There was that one guy that was in SoCal that had the prototypes or whatever. I think he ended up selling them on the eBay for around about $300.

sorry but Megan's fail just as much as any of the other sub standard setup! They're also made in China and have seen failed on many vehicles after a few laps. For normal driving they'll probably hold well but they certainly wouldn't be a coilover i'd recommend to anyone, it's more of a budget permitting type of thing.

but then again apparently TEIN & Buddy club is also in Taiwan now so ehhh who give's a sH*T just pick the color you like the best.

just go w/ spring and Bilstein shocks.... I think Bilstein's are lifetime warranty now.

I didn't know where to ask this....can someone fill me in on the numbers about these two sets?
which one offers the biggest drop and is it worth it to go with Ksports or just dish out ~$300 more and get the Teins...
