Nobody said anything about their longevity though... thats my main concern. That and spring rates.
And il listen to whatever anyone has to say about actual experience with Ksports.

I've had them for almost a month with 11k/7k. So far no complaints and they work great.

I have had them for over a year, I no longer have the car, but I know the guy who does and they are still on it without problems. They are the higher rates(been awhile so cant quite remember) car does a hundred miles or so a day of commuting.

I liked them, dont regret purchasing them.

if you are that worried about the life of the K-sports..

then go with AMR Engineering Coil-overs they give you a full lifetime warranty on them, however I don't know much about the company...

Their website http://www.amrengineering.com is still under development, and they have the F2 Logo on it.

That could mean that F2 (Function/Form) is sponsoring them, and that the F2 Type I Coil-overs are the same coil-overs that AMR provides. I assume that they are cause the specs are EXACTLY the same.

Thing is, nobody who sells suspension in HT-Marketplace browses these forums, except CRX Lee and PIC, and answers technical questions about the coil-overs that they are selling/supporting. (I don't know HT rules on if Sellers can reply in tech forums about their products)

Then again, you can always do the GC/Koni setup...Koni has a lifetime warranty, and GC are quality Eibach Springs..
