Default Coilover Question!!
Looking to buy K-Sport Coilover's for my IS300 soon, but I've been hearing bad reviews about it. If anyone has any knowledge on K-Sports coilovers please feel free to post here.

- PROS: Camber/Upper Mount is included, 26 ride hight Adjustment, fully ajustable, price I got from AUTOLAND was $950.00 for the coilover system(does not include shipping), w/ installation & shipping cost from AUTOLAND approx. $1500 all together.

-CONS: IE: Bad reviews I've read was about the rear shock's gets worn fast.

Go to Revision and get a set of Tein! I've beat the crap out of both brand on my S13 and Tein take way more abuse. The k-sport setup lasted me about 3 months of daily driving and bi-weekly drift events back in Florida. When I went to change them out not only were they leaking oil everywhere but had already began to rust lol..

No. Ksport and Megans are manufactured under completely different companies.
