Default Ksport Kontrol Pro Coilovers CLX150-KP for 01-06 LS430

Has anyone had these on their car yet? Im looking to switch my UL from air to coilovers because im tired of messing with my stock air suspension, and trying to see if it is worth it to switch over. I got my ASC680 with brand new harness that I havent put on yet because one of my shocks is leaking and I dont want to make it worse.

If you do have these on your car, let me know how you like them. My car is my daily and I drive quite a bit so I need a streetable daily driven comfortable ride.

Thanks!

Back from the dead.

I am currently interested in this same setup, the K Sport coilovers.
If anyone has experience with this company please chime in.

Or recommend a set of good coilovers, other than the BC Racing.

Thanks.

Never done this myself, but K Sport coilovers were a very popular upgrade for the Acura Legend group for those who wanted more performance from their car. The K Sport struts they bought were height adjustable and I believe they were installed on the cars in the lowered setting

Most complained after they were installed the ride was too hard and uncomfortable for a daily driven car, and they didn't last long. After a couple of years they were blown.

Konis became the go-to strut for this group

Man, BC coilovers just win all the time. I have heard good feedback from a lot of the owners. Only problem is the price. $960, that's a bit steep. Although, I know that this specific part in the car is a very important one. So that might justify the price a bit to me, even though similar sets are couple hundred bucks cheaper.
If I'm paying extra, and I'm being taken care of then no problem at all.

Again, that's why it's hard to just go with one company. Ksport might be better than BC's, but not a lot of people have those set ups, and those who do have them don't share their experience.
