What do you all think of the K sport coilovers??

Ok so for a long time ive wanted some coils but just like anything i like to change my mind haha so i dont want to make the wrong purchase... Ive heard that these k sports have a rough ride and they dont lower that much in the rear...

What are yalls opinions of these coils i mean they are only 700+ some dollars

would like some feedback

BUMPIN IT

you can always call b and g and probobly get a better price, i think gravana is overcharging by a couple hundred. check out b and gs new site I have thier lowering springs and damn are they low.

gravana isnt overcharging on the B&G website they are selling them for 1590 so you save money with gravana unless you call B&G and see if theres a sale price

they should be sold for 1100 1500 is the suggested retail price. My suggestion is to call B and G directly. they are located here in san diego I have talked to them several times about the coilovers.

If I was in the market for coil-overs, I'd get the B&G's.
I'd also have the guy who let B&G try out springs on his car make some calls for me.

oh well i called them today talked to the guy who had the tested ss who had these coils on their car... He explained that these have more play than the kw variants and are easier to self adjust and finely tune...

well the kw's are supposedly a ******* pain in the ass to adjust anything sooo maybe the B&Gs are my best option.
