Default Anyone here with KG/MM Springs?

Is anyone here using the KG/MM springs and if you are can you give me your impressions on them (handling balance, overall handling, how they fare on track days)? Also what shocks are you using with them? Thanks!

I had them on my ITR a year or so ago, but sold them and got some Teins. I liked them alot, but you gotta understand there is only soo much you cant get/expect from springs that cost less than $250usd. I dont remember how long i used them, or for how many miles, but i used them with stock shocks. The ride was very comfortable, eliminated some roll, but was not very sturdy at high speeds. If you want a track setup, dont just get the KG/MM springs, but if you just want to lower your car for the time being, it should do.

Um what do you mean by "not very sturdy at high speeds"?

I think he means that the car doesn't feel planted in the ground. I had the Spoon springs on my car for a while (really similiar to the KGMM) and i liked them for looks but for a track setup they aren't that great. Like he said eliminate some body roll but stability at high speeds is nothing compared to a full coilover setup. Don't get me wrong the springs are definitely better than stock

Damn, I was thinking about pairing them up with the Nuespeed koni's. Looks like I'll be buying a used set of Tein HA's. Thanks for the responses.
