#30299, "Anyone with Ksport or NEX coilovers?"


          

Just wondering if anyone has Ksport or NEX coilovers.
I've got the itch to change my suspension and they look like a better alternative to teins with much more adjustments.

Ksport to me looks the best and it comes with top pillow mounts

I'm referring to these

They don't look too bad. Can't say I've heard of either of them, but it's worth a shot, right? If you get them, write up an article in the Wiki about how the install goes and your initial thoughts on quality and performance. Then you can come back a couple thousand miles later and post up what you think of them over the long haul.

Nobody will ever know if nobody ever tries them...

A local w/ a 2g talon has the K Sports and they are nice.

To be completely honest, I like the ride better with his K Sports then the ride with my Tein Basic adjustables.

They are damper adjustable too. Real nice smooth ride, not too rough and deff not bouncey.

I would buy them if I could sell my Tein's.

Thank you for sharing that, Mike. It's good to have that comparison available.

Cheers.

Both look very nice. I would say based on Mike's judgement i would go with the K-sport. Mike isnt one to give bad advise just to sit by and laugh.

The more I see you guys going with coilover setups the more I think someday I might as well too.

Same here, but i was thinking more of Ground control and Tokico Ill adjustable. Would Kyb AGx work with ground control. Hows the overall with these.. I'm on a budget I can't go too deep depends on what site has them cheaper.

Well you need to consider the motion ratio on our cars. The motion ratio is about .9 up front and about .6 in the rear. So the 13kg up front is more like 11kg and the 7kg is more like 4kg. That probably isn't terribly stiff.

Also, the quality of the damper has a lot to do with the ride quality. A quality damper that reacts quickly will result in a smoother ride.

Check these out. I'll probably buy these at some point to see how well they ride.

Do the ksport coilovers come with everything needed to adjust camber or do you need a separate kit?

I've been looking into buying these over a lowering spring/shock combo. Something about being able to raise or lower my car when i see fit is nice and i hear if your car is too low in some states, they can write you a ticket and even impound your car....
