Default skunk full coilover kit or Ksport full coilover kit???

i am debating between the two. i'm leaning towards the ksport more due to damper adjustments. i just wanted to know what you all think. any ideas? post pics if possible.

I have the Skunk2's...and they are far from bouncy. They ride stiff, and are perfect for someone who likes to feel the road. If not, don't get them. Personally I love the stiff ride.

I have Ksports, had Skunk2 sleeve coilovers prior to this. I love the Ksports. I heard Skunk2s are stiff.

I just got my Ksports on my DA and god damn are they bouncy. I bought them used with only 500 miles on them, they looked brand new and the spring rates I believe are the normal 12/7, but even with the damening set on the softest setting, it's almost unbearable.

k-sport is a lower grade D2 coilover and Skunk has the same manufacture as Megan, Nex and other Twain made coilovers . I have Attack coilovers on my da from http://cngdistribution.com/attack.html I love them, the ride is stiff but not bounces and I have the buddyclubs http://www.buddyclub.us/buddyclub/top_m.html on my eg courtesy from my previous employer buddyclub the ride is alittle soft for me but good. Bottom line you get what you pay for.
