I love my Ksports. We've had them on my EG for just over 2 years with absolutely no problems. Quite a few people have had problems with the seals going bad, but I guess we've been lucky.

i've used all 3 for spirited daily driving, the best by far is the koni/gc imo

rates were:

omni 12k fronts, 10k rears
ksport 12k fronts, 6k rears
koni/gc 450lbs front and rear (about 10k? 9k?)

I bought my old konis from them a few years ago. They have the best prices for Koni's and I searched at least a month for the lowest possible price. It was 460 out the door shipped.
