I heard different reviews about both of them...i have Tein HE's. I would recommend you do some searching before forking down $800+ for coilovers...if i had to choose i would go with megan

Seriously? Just because it rides "stiff" doesn't make it ideal for track. I'm sure both the Ksports and Megan coilovers have pretty ****ty rebound characteristics making bumpsteer even more present.

I've read tons of mixed reviews about ksports. I have yet to read one person with Megan coilovers question their quality.

Get the Megans.

Or if your a badass buy custom valved Koni Yellows with GC springs.

http://www.gtfactory.jp/cms/news.php they're coilovers are roughly $1,000 even... I'm considering on buying their line of suspension arms, specifically their rucas... they look beefy ...

I thought Yokota pushed Stance and PoweredByMax... i.e. the cheap stuff?? :P

Baller is like $7500 Moton 3-ways.... or $15,000 Ohlins TTX. $2200 is my budget Koni DA setup.

My advice to the original poster: If you can't afford to buy better... save more.

yeah dude, im no ballerIts just because i noramlly buy quality name brand parts for my car, people say i am WTF????

Im not a professional racer, i cant justify professional grade coilovers. So i push the stuff i know works well from experience (except PBM)

I am a baller yes, but only becuase i actually save my money for REAL **** instead of buyting sportmax and K sports like the rest of you

LOL...

I'd have to agree with Yoko tho... for the price of sportmaxes, you can get used multi peiced wheels in a better design and better size/ offset. Same kinda goes with suspension... hell, my buddy just bought a set of Kbee coilovers for $850 brand new. As far as DD goes, Kbee > megan... plus they're backed with RnD
