Re: I need some K sport Reviews
i have k-sport coilover on my 99 civic EX sedan.
in a few months, water/moisture collected on the top mount holes for the adjustment ***** for the damping settings (the **** you turn for hard/soft settings). they rusted and now they're stuck in the full soft position. the **** now turns freely and won't let me change the settings anymore. there were no rubber covers included to prevent that from happening and i thought just leaving the adjustment ***** in would prevent it from happening; but it did.
after almost a year of use, the shocks have now leaked the oil and are now blown. i installed the set correctly with 0 preload on the springs. they are now busted and the ride is stiff and bouncy. the springs are no longer assisted by the struts during rebound.
i hope you have a better experience with yours.

I've had mine on for a year on my 89 hatch without a problem. A good friend of mine has had them on his EM2 for 50,000+ miles and no problems yet either.

Re: I need some K sport Reviews
I've had mine for almost 2 years.I must be one of the lucky people that actually got a good batch because I haven't had any problems with mine.I have raised and lowered my ride height more than a few times and same with the damping.
I think if you are just using them for DD,you should be o.k.,but there's obviously way better setups for the track.Either way,you already got them,might as well put them on and find out for yourself how you like them because opinions on Ksport coilovers are all over the place.

Re: I need some K sport Reviews
I've had mine for a year and been slammed off and on and daily driving for awhile. But i'm always raising and lowering them and they've been great not one problem with them. They are a little loud when you hit bumps, but they've been holding up great for me, no complaints!
