I have the KSports. I like them A LOT...but the ride, even on the softest setting is pretty stiff. Not really bouncy but its quite a big difference in ride quality over stock. They really get the job done though!

I have K sports on my 5th gen prelude w/ the standard spring rate. They are awsome. Have had them on for 2 months and no problems what so ever.

My friend has a set on Tein Flex on his prelude and the Ksports ride and handling is identical. But cost a lot less. Definately worth it.

For an EF the should be around $600-650 which is a killer deal for this good of a suspension

Man alive I want a set of those. Amazing price and they look wicked. Tax returns should come every 3.2 months.

im planning on getting some ksports too

but i heard that they dont have any stops on the bottom piece so there has been a case where it'd lower by itself which ruined the coilover/shock.

how do these compare to using a good aftermarket shock like koni or kyb with a good spring combo? which i hear is the ideal setup for those who track a lot.

anybody track these pretty often?

Tein SS vs Ksport? i know the price is a big difference but tein im pretty sure is quality and has been tested throughout many cars where ksport is a brrand new company.

I dont want to purchase coilovers again and regret them...

omnipower to Ksport to who knows what haha
