Default K Sports v. Megan coilovers

Most threads on here are for the AS version of K Sports,but who has the Kontrol Pro Coilover,and who has Megans? are there any noticable difference i.e. looks or handling?

Good question. I'm kinda interested to know too since I'm leaning towards a set of Megan's myself

My Opinion, don't waste your time/money on Ksports. Get Megans on the cheaper end or BC Racing at the $1k mark.

If you would like some help deciding on a set shoot us a PM

For my benefit of being clueless here, what make the Ksports one to avoid?

i had a lot of friends experience QC issues, from broken mounts on McPherson strut coilovers to blown coilover shocks and incessant clunking. problems nobody i kknow has really had with Megan or BC.

I wouldn't recommend the K-sports on a heavy car like the LS from what I have heard.
