Default tein ss-p or ksports gt pro

there are about the same price. ive looked all over these forums and couldn't really find a comparison ive been to both websites and they seem equally as good. im kind of leaning towards tein.

im on stock shocks with DF210s, i didn't cut the bump stops and its a daily driver so ive had ADVERSE effects to my car. opposite corner shocks are gone so it bounces and rolls really awkwardly and makes it slide it turns. so i definitely want to go for coilovers this time around.

so i guess a main question is the 16 adjustable damper or 32 adjustable damper that much of a difference. and is there any other notable differences that i should consider? .since other than that they seem pretty much the same. or so i think.

any opinions on experience with either or what you've heard or seen will be helpful. thanks

TEIN, especially for the EDFC option.

I have the Ksports, and I am happy with them. They give variable dampening, and a little camber play in the front. I have no experience with the Teins, but I would imagine those would be a good choice as well.

A lot of people are saying tein, but don't give a reason why they like thembetter.

k-sport sucks IMO..Tein all the way. From the threads I have read, K-sport is nothing but poor quality..kinda like Rotas. Tein is a well known company who makes nothing but quality products but if you do choose to go with Tein, you have to watch out for bootleg versions of Tein Coils.

If you have not actually used either, how can you give an honest opinion? Both companies make a good product, and having actually used the ksports, I can say they are well made.

thats my problem that they are both pretty much the same. in that they do the same thing and have little difference. i'm just not to sure and am mostly looking for any BAD EXPERIENCE with either.

also not to sure whats so great about the EDFC at least on our vehicle. because its like 500$ more and from what i understand it only works on the front and not the rear for our vehicle. seems like a waste since popping the hood is pretty simple. and where am i supposed to put that bulky box thing. does anyone even have/use this on an xB?

for your information, I have sat in tCs with Tein SS Coils. They feel nice..cant say the same about k-sport since I have never sat with em but from what I read I feel like they would not be worth it. Democracy dont lie either, look at the vote count..do you find it weird that there are four votes for Tein Coils and non for K-sport?

there are plenty of places you can stick the EDFC ..plus if you feel like its unnecessary then dont get it

Actually, its not that weird at all. Tein has a lot more visibility marketing-wise than Ksports.

yea and I wonder why..maybe its because people actually buy there products granted they have quality products and happy customers equal more money, more money equals more advertisement.
