Default Suspension Kit

Well I'm still deciding on a suspension kit. I was looking at the Tein, but I don't think the basic dampers are worth it. So I'm looking towards Ksport. Is that any good? Let me know wat u guys think. Thanks.

I've heard good things about the K sports also so that's what I'm getting for the teg this summer. If you search u can find sponsors on these forums selling them around $600.

I haven't used KSports but I have heard bad things about their durability. most people on this forum haven't had them more than a couple of months.

what do you want to get out of your suspension? handling? just looks? etc...

and im here to disprove those myths.

almost seven months of ownership and no spring sag and the dampers are still working fine (better than i expected, actually, since I drive so aggressively on the street).

no bottoming out and no leaks. how do i know? I rotated my tires yesterday and inspected each coilover.

btw, here's an interesting tidbit: tokico provides many of the dampers used in the struts on ksports...

I don't consider 7 months "long term," but okay.
