It's wierd. K-sport sucks donkey balls on 240sx's but on FWD cars, they seem to be pretty popular.

Try googling 'Maxima K-Sport Review'. There seems to be plenty of info out there on the topic.

first, what is n-which???? it sounds a little tasty yet troubling......

second why are you "Dissing" you car, which im gathering is a 2004 Maxima

third, K-Sport is crap(general consesus) their dampening is WIDELY known to be horrible and longevity would also be in question.

I didn't bother reading any of the google threads regarding the subject since it doesn't really apply to me. But all I know is their 240 coilovers suck, however Greg seems to like their airbag suspension kit just fine...

quick coilover question since were on the subject

is it not a good idea to by coilovers that come permently set on dampering and spring rate. there set to be streetable but still good for performance and such. only thing thats adjustable is hieght and camber. i dont know much about where to tune etc with coils so i`d think this would be ok...what you guys think

the is nothing wrong with it as long as they are quality pieces, not too many people change their spring rates or adjust their dampening that often

K-sport coilovers are actually pretty decent. Every company has to start somewhere, and some of their early stuff was questionable.

Of course, I have to lol when I see someone whining about "cheap junk coilovers" when they have crap tires on their car.

Good entry-level coilover... but then again, most guys who put entry-level coilovers on a car, have no business using a coilover suspension to begin with (the rest of the car is shagged).

well for the record if this helps, all i want in a coilover set is to lower my car 2.5-2.75 front and 1.75-2 in the back, be pretty stiff cause my tires will be almost right on the wheel well and be 85.5% dd and 14.5% track and having serious circut fun lol

Why do you feel the need to talk bad about people who are from Tennessee? There are idiots everywhere so why pinpoint one state? I could quote a line from a movie that happens to be about Texas, hell I could say a lot of things about Texas but I wont bother.Back on topic, why not save a little more for something a little more quality? 1200 would get you a nice set of coilovers that have good reputation. But its your money, do what you want with it.
