the k-sports are the best when it comes to the fronts, by far IMO, but the rear shocks lack adjustability, that's the only downside, but because they cost less than the others, so you can pick up some Koni rears.

K-sports are seriously FTW. 32 way adjustable fronts, standard with pillow ball top mounts, and the body of the front strut is one solid machined piece of metal, aluminum i think, whereas all the others are welded steel. both the front struts weighed less than one stock strut.
not to mention the orange looks badass...

I just got the K-sports on sunday night, and damn what a difference. Rear shock adjustment is nil, but not really needed, fronts are awesome. I've been taking turns that I took on the stock suspension at 35mph with problems at 60+mph now without even realizing it lol.

Gravana will be posting a sale shortly on B&G Coilovers and B&G drop springs. 10% off the price of the product until the end of September.
The Cobalt B&G adjustable camber plates have completed R&D and are now on the production schedule. We are looking at a 4-6 week ETA. 3 weeks of that is the time it takes to come acrossed the water.
If you have a friend with a different car we may still be able to honor 10% off on those B&G products too.

Do what I did. Start searching on dfferent brands. Look for compairisions, damper dyno charts, what problems people had. Don't know how much you want to spend, some that cost less, cost less for a reason. You maybe shocked as to how many and which brands have many blown seals, corrision problems, spring rates that are too high, dampers that are so inconsistant that one needs to be close to full soft as the other is near full firm. Some can drop the car to the ground, but how low is too low, bump steer, axle angles, lower control arm angles all need to be considered. Pillowball camber plates are great, if designed so the main load of the vihicle is not supported on the joint alone, this causes noise and increased wear. I went with KWv2's for a reason. Reputation and reliability in a real race environment. The KWv2's rear dampers are Koni Yellows, just shorter to accommodate the drop. I would have gone with Bilstien, but too much for me at the time and not adjustable which is important to me for I see DD, Autox and open track.

now this is the same problem i have. Right now i have the kw variant 1 coilovers and the need to be replaced. so i am torn between ksport or B&G coilovers. Im leaning toward B&G. they seem to be alittle bit more adjustable and maybe better performance.
