Fuck K-sports! You want that shit to start doing the infamous "k-sport knock" & then blow on you? :rofl1:

Honestly, if you want good lowering springs, save your money and get H&R and get a good set of struts too. If you leave it on your stock struts, after a lil while, those are gonna blow too.

Ive been wanting to do springs for the longest time but right now I'm just saving money and getting coilovers. I suggest you do the same.

Have you ever owned a set of Ksport coil overs.? I had a set on my Altima and they never blew. Everyone can tell you I drive the shit out of my cars!

h&r really don't make shit for 240's the have stuff but they don't really mess with them. i know cuz i was looking for some and only found one set from them, but I'm just going to save money and fix the car up a lil more before i really do stuff to it(like maintains and body work). make it look good then lower it and make more hp.

I know at least 20-30 people with K-sports that have had nothing but trouble with them after about a year or so. All of them live in NY or NJ though.. Must be the shitty roads or something but I have heard nothing but horror stories. Most of them went ahead and got JIC coilovers instead.

Here is my buddies Chris Maxima slammed on Ksports... after 5 months, one blew on him.

honneslty when was the last time you drove the altima?? wasnt it down for a while....

im not being a dick, just wondering

i have heard that k-sports were good for hondas but thats about it

they made them for the focus for a while and every set broke


so i say getting coilovers for 600 bucks and coilovers for 1300 bucks there will be a noticable difference in handeling

That was not a dick question. I had them on way before the engine went. They are still on with the car sitting in the garage. Alot of the common problems with the K Sports are when people don't know how to tune them rite. They stiffen the dampner so hard and lower the all the way. I know a ton of guys using them to drift, and they have no known issues yet. I didn't get the cheapest set of Ksports either. I just got the Family discount. I will never by the basic stuff. When have you ever seen me use a cheap shitty part on one of my cars? I am in no way trying to Ksports are the best! I am just trying to get Steve a discount . Just so everyone know thought K sport is no longer since the past 6 months the same coil as Megan or D2's. They are made in their own plant now. The altima will be back on the road as soon as I quit being a pussy and can trust a tuner . I am so afraid that when we put it on a dyno the the turner is gonna fuck it up. After the last tuner you would understand.

yea i remember the last tuner and how he fucked you... but yea how you use your coilovers also helps if they break or not.

I've had Tein lowering springs for a bout 1 1/2 years. My stock struts, and rear shocks are fucked. Now I need a better set up. Just save your money, and get full coil overs
