I run KSports and find them to be really good for the price.

both the F2's and ksports are good....it really depends on what your going to be doing with the car, i know if your planning to slam the car the F2's wont tuck as much...

I have Function&Form Type II's on my EJ8. The ride is stiffer than stock but it's not too harsh and it handles really well. I'd recommend them

if you want your suspension to blow in under a month buy k-sports. I personally have gotten screwed over by them and so has my friend have to replace 4 strutsbecause of binding.

I thought good for price and those first 300 miles I enjoyed it. but 800 for 300 miles is not worth it.

I disagree.I've had mine on my 94 Accord for about a year and a half and I've had absolutely no problem whatsoever. Ultimately I think that as far as Ksport goes,it really depends on when you bought them.It seems like everyone who got theirs in 05 or earlier had a problem.I got mine in March of 06 and they have been really good,and it seems like everyone who has gotten them around this same time and later haven't had a problem either,from what I've read.

For a full set of coilovers that are under $700,you really can't beat em for a DD,but that's just my 2 cents.

Ok I bought mine in June 07, blown by aug 07. My friend bought July 07, replaced 2 struts by oct 07 and 2 more by mar 08. and now has come to a compelte bind and ride.

I mean why would you even consider a suspension that has a "chance" to go terribly wrong.

Pretty much every suspension has a chance of going bad,even the all mighty Koni yellows.Why do you think that they have a lifetime warranty,because they know that sooner of later,they'll blow.

As far as Ksport goes for me,I can't commplain.Maybe you just got a bad batch along with your friend,or maybe I got lucky and got a really good batch.Who the hell knows,either way,I'm satisfied.

F&F and KSport's are practically the same. Both made in taiwan by the same manufacturer. Not saying either is bad, but are you going to DD or track your car more? Either setup should run find DDing.

I was thinking about getting them for my Teggy. I think I'll pass on the K-Sport, guy I know has them and they are a bit harsh. I don't like the hole bouncy ricer feel, I'mma go with TEIN.
