Default Tein or KSport?

Theyre both the same price.....but what is going to give a better ride?


Tein

Ksport.

What do the gurus think? Im going to be getting 15 inch rims soon, so I need to lower the car, but dont want just softer springs on stock struts.

Yea, I mean I dont WANT to spend any more money but I think my stock stuff is shot....and I cant stand my 17s anymore....they are bent and when I am going over 65mph the steering wheel is going crazy. I also need new axles because the CV joints are shot....but its too cold to do this now. I want to get this stuff in line for springtime.

yeah i hear ya, i just want coilovers cause i don't want my car to be a 4x4 anymore, but i want to be able to raise it up in the winter as well. those are both about the same price, i've driven in a car with the Tein's and they are decent, but i like how the KSports have the dampening adjustibility.

Yea, I dont know much about suspensions.....but After I get the suspension, wheels and new axles I will be done with the car....unless I decide to boost or juice it, but that wont happen until I havea new daily driver.

Tein is one of the best out there. They usually come with a warranty with their products, I recommened them


Edit: Ive heard some bad stories with the Pros with my gen. Rough ride, back is higher than front, etc.

Tein. i've installed a couple Tein Basics and the quality is top notch and ride is great. i've never heard anything bad or going wrong with Tein products. i've seen how much r&d they put into their products and u sure do get a good bang for buck. the only thing about the basics is that its non-adjustable dampening and the spring rates arnt very agressive. it'll make for a good, run ride around town but if ur serious about turns its not the best setup.

the k-sports from what i've seen are more a bling product than anything else. more pricey than other compareable products andjust look better.i've heard of bad things about their products such as their shocks blowing after about a year. many seem to bad mouth the quality on their products..

I think I am leaning towards the Tein, but I might go 1 step up from those.

Pete, if you go with the Tein don't buy from eBay, JHPUSA.com has them for $690 and you have the assurance you wont get ****ed over.
