Damn I really want some Coilovers also but I dont have the money, and im having the same problems w/ my stock struts, I dont see the point in paying $550+ for Koni struts when I can double that and get some Coilovers...

thats why i finally went with coilovers, lowering springs are to hard on the struts.

this is the vendor i bought them from, they don't advertise them on there sight, only on there ebay store, if you call them though, they'll hook you up. they are located local to me here in california.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/KSPOR...spagenameZWD1V

or this is where you can find them on e-bay
none of our supporting vendors are authorized dealers for k sport so you won't find them on the sight, when i saw them i did quite a bit of research on them.

this is there actual website.

Konis actually are a GREAT alternative to coilovers. If you want it just for daily driving and some recreational auto-x, Konis do REALLY well and are a more suitable than coilovers unless you just want the bling factor.

The only reason I'm holding out for coilovers is because I do open track days (I think you might too...either that or I'm confusing you with someone else). If you do that and/or are a serious auto-xer then you're better off holding out for full coilovers.

the dampening is quite adjustable, your friend was probably just not looking for comfort, more like performance. kinda like me, i'm gonna leave mine maxed out on the stiff side when i'm out running it, maybe daily driving i'll make it a bit softer.

ride height has nothing to do with stiffness, the dampner itself is what controlls that, i don't know if his are like these, where i can adjust the dampening 36 ways. i'll post pics of what i mean in the how to i'm gonna make.
