Default ksport suspension

Hey guys i just installed my ksports on a 97 gsr. They seem to be pretty nice stuff for the price, i was wondering though is it supposed to bounce so much? or is there like a break in period. otherwise if you guys are on a budget consider ksports.

For future reference, it's kind of dumb to invest in suspension without knowing the details of what you're getting.

It's stiff and bumpy and will stay stiff and bumpy. Most "street" setups run a significantly lower rate up front, maybe 8kg/mm instead of 11kg/mm. You'll get used to it though. My last daily driver was on 14kg/mm front springs.

I'm looking forward to further input on the K-Sport setups. I'm currently looking at a 13kg/11kg custom valved setup for my race car.
