I mean I was able to get it quoted for that price out of a dealer. so you can go ahead and pay 1400$ for ti if you want but I wouldn't

maybe you won't believe me but from what I heard, the Ksport and D2 ones are the SAME. just different branding. same company.but I could be wrong. anyways, I have no idea how soft or hard 8K springs are, but I'm counting on a nice review from you when you get them to know for sure. and please if they suck, tell us, but if they rock, tell us too lol.

I have heard the same that ksport and d2 are the same, the real test wont be if they are crap out of the box but if they are crap 8 months from now when the dampers are shot.

hopefully it lasts that long and hopefully Tien will have released their coilovers or springs by then.

Stay away from Ksport c/o. I had them on my SpecV, the ride was ruff no matter how soft I set them and they always made noises.

with the front you should be covered for camber because it has pillow ball upper mounts which leaves room for adjustment because i had lowered my STi about 3 1/2 inches in front with needing any aftermarket camber parts.... the rear you might not be able to go too low depending on how much the oem camber bolts can adjust....just take your car into a good alignment shop and you'll be good to go.

my knowledge is limited in this area so if my question is dumb i appologize.

But can you use the eibach springs with the d2 coil overs?

I dont know how its done or measured to make sure each product is compatible size/compression with each other.

I can see it now, a factory not in production... then they get a phone call...

"Chinaman made an order!"(everyone starts running around like in a firehouse when theres a call)
