People with KSport setups?
Hey everyone! I was wondering if anyone has experience with the KSport coilovers system? Specifically the Ksport CNS080-RR Version RR Road Race coilovers setup. I will only be using the car for autocross and I know from experience that these cars love a much stronger spring. Not to mention the car will be on R-Compound tires. Please tell me thoughts on KSport in general etc. my budget is capped at 1500 and I do NOT want to deal with CSK/GC again...been there done that. ANY input (other than dumbness) would be appreciated!
OR...
Should I look at the fortune auto ones more closely...

If you're on a budget, Fortune Auto is the only budget solution worth recommending. Yes, look into them instead.

What do you do with the car and what rates did you get on the springs?

I had a K-sport setup on a car I bought with them, it wasn't the exact current road race version you have indicated above. Now, but that being said I also have a very high threshold for streetable suspension and experience setting up suspensions on these cars.

I spent an entire weekend of incremental adjustments up and down trying to get something that could ride and handle at any height. The K-sports are a total disaster imo.

There is very little difference between the eBay coilovers and I'm not a fan of any of them in fact having looked at the brands I often wonder if they come from the same factory or complex of factories with identical production equipment.

I reserve special contempt for K-sports but would give a slight edge to Megan as I've read folks saying that they fit the bill for similar racing situations (ie getting around a specific course faster) although I don't know how Megan are for rebuilds. K-sport apparently has good rebuilding services but I'm sure that department stays pretty busy....

I am now leaning toward fortune auto. Gotta figure out the spring rates I need for r-compound tires. These cars lean so damn much...

We have the Ksport RR setup on our b13 BUT they've been revalved by ANZE with different spring rates so they aren't really the RR any more.. lol ....been working great for us this way though
