the ksports are nice and stiff. i would not recommend them for a dd unless you have some really smooth streets. you will feel every crease, divot, crack in the road with the ksports. i have the rm/agx/shortened koni yellow setup and i like it much better than the ksports. cost me about $200 less than the ksports through the group buy also.

I've owned KSports for over two years now on a 60+mile per day daily driven NX....I like them quite a bit on my NX.
I know that makes me damn silly and somedody who doesn't know dick about suspension, but I still do...I say get them. Shoot Greg at Neverenoughauto.com an email & ask him what his best price is. I got a smokin deal that way, cheaper than the GB.
I drive a long curvy mtn road everday & the only other car to ever make me look silly in a bend was a guy who lives up the road from me that drives an Aston Martin Vanquish. Thats a good name for that car, yep.
I believe the first iteration for the B13 had weak seals and would leak. They've since gone w/another oil seal vendor and they seem to be fine now. I had to warranty one shock last year; the people in KSport USA were pleasant to deal with and I got a replacement quickly. I sent them a picture of the serial # taken w/my phone and they UPSed me one right out.
I've heard some bad warranty stories about the level of service from the supposed "recommended" suspension mfgs.
If you're not racing (as in, sanctioned events with a club or on a track), I would get them. They would be fine on a track, but if you're that committed you will want to spend more...Progress coilovers, for instance.
As Shawn so politely observed above, most everything you need is in one thread. Search around, READ, take your time buying what you believe will most suit your budget, needs.
Lots of people use KSports, I know the Mazda track guys like them...suspensions are very different for our cars, of course-speaking to the longeivity/ability to take abuse of the KSports only.
Spend some time tuning whatever you get, and have a blast!!

stock suspension has 3 inches of travle....do the math.


do your self a HUGE favor and buy a set of AGX shocks. then buy a set of hypercoil springs. not a single person has ever argued that this setup is golden, and the same price or less than k-sports.


^Other than the drop you mentioned, did they ride good? I have a set from that group buy, but I haven't tried them out yet.

Wow, I wish I could have found that set-up for that price.....

i just checked my paypal and i actually got the ksports for ~740 shipped. the rm springs were $230, the agx's were 200 for the rear pair and the koni yellows were about 300 at tirerack so it actually was the same. so i guess it wasnt any cheaper, but i like the ride alot better. it doesnt handle(?) as well(read not as stiff) as the ksports but i can adjust the dampers on all four corners and i am just as happy with the handling. im sure if i put on some progress sway bars it will handle better due to the longer suspension travel gained through the shortened konis.
