I have them on the B14 and they are pretty nice overall. I had them on my KN13 as well, the gti-r setup to be exact, and they were nice to. I have seen them run on B13's, not sure why you limited this question to the NX only section, but they work alright.

So why do people not like KSports? I have ridden on them in a track car and its handling was ungodly. The fact that you have more adjustment then even progress coilovers offer has me scratching my head....
I guess people don't want to fine tune their suspension and just want a simple bolton application.

Ive installed Ksports in one B14. Drove 2 B14s with Ksports. Autocrossed 1 B14 with the Ksports. Decent setup for the track. Not a good setup for the street AND track. The springs are too stiff for the shock/struts. The adjustability on the Ksports is basically useless. I jumped in my B14 with the Tein SS at the autox and it was loads better. We were running the same tires.

Ksports are PURE SH!T quality wise.

3 or 4000 miles of daily driving in 1 B14 and the right rear blew.

10K miles or so on the other b14 and the front right blew.

The only thing good about Ksports is their customer service. Sent out a replacement and a box and paid for return shipping for the blown shock.

They do have softer springs, lol you just have to buy them.
Ive been DD'ing my Ksports and I love the handling, just not the ride.
Thats why I inquired about softer springs. But I decided since I dont do track, I might as well sell them and Ive got (havent installed yet) agx/rm combo.

Whats a good price? youre not going to get them for less than $1200 and I knew andy from HP so i just ordered from there. I paid about $1675 for my Tein SS setup WITH all 4 Tein pillowball mounts for my B14 about 3 years ago.

Paid $1415.63 shipped to 33139 for the B13 setup.

I was gunna say, if you want adjustable Progress coilovers, ShigSpeed is your man. The Progress coilovers are basically a dumbed down, non-adjustable version of his coilovers. Get ready to take out a second mortgage though.
