No personal experience, but have heard that the Tein BASICS suck and the KSports are good for their price

I had Tein SS on my integra (rear only, don't ask, it came that way) and they felt pretty decent, although it was a little hard to tell with them only on the rear. I currently have k-sports on my hatch and I would tell anyone I know to buy them. For the price they are fantastic!

I would say the Ksport Kontrol. They are really well made and work well. That price is really good too, I sell Ksport suspension and I can't get them that cheap. Are they new or used?

i really like my SS's. its my first set of coilovers. before i had neuspeed springs. yea they are pricey but i'd rather pay for the good quality. not to say ksport is of bad quality b/c i know a few ppl w/ ksports and love them. so i'd say you can't go wrong w/ either...and it seems ksport is cheaper

i got the function & Form, they are just like the ksports i think. same price range anyway, i think the big difference here is that the tein suspension has really really soft spring rates (in my opinion) whereas the ksports, function & Form, D2, and other brands allow you to get custom spring rates for no extra charge.

ksport have dampening ajustability which the tein basics do not. unless you are going for the high dollar teins, like the flex, you should get ksport. that is what i am getting in the near future.

I say k sports adjusted in the full soft setting. It's firm but not harsh.

The Tein basics are good. I've actually had them unlike most of the people saying they suck. They are perfect for a daily driver.

http://www.allsprings.com (I think) was selling the H&R Cup Kit for 786.00. I have bought them and have been totally amazed at how nice they are. Rebound is adjustable and the height is 3-way adjustable. Just a thought.....take a look into them.

the k's are going to ride stiff...if you can handle the bumpy ride then get it....if i had the money i'd just go with the teins....or if want to spend less and get your moneys worth get the GC/kyb adj setup...thats what i have on my EJ8..rides pretty good....i had some full coilovers from omni before the 6way adj ones..sucked ***....stiff as a mother but bumpy as ****.....most full coilovers are bumpy and stiff...though the teins aren't though
