Ksport or Megan Coils

[240sxHitman]

i was just curiouse between K sport and Megan Racing coils. which one is better or are they pretty much up there next to each other? for street use

[McRussellPants]

both of them blow.

K-Sports are notoriously bad and anyone who has used anything more than 1000$ thinks the Megans aren't dampened right.

KTS or Stance for the win. 1200$ for either of them.

Yeah save up the extra $200 or however more the difference is and get the KTS's, you will be thanking yourself 6 months later

[glitched]

guys, he was asking BETWEEN the 2. Have either of you used either brand? Im sure he understand 'you get what you pay for', but if thats ur budget u want at least want to know some feedback comparing similiar priced products. some people want, and do, get budget coilovers because they cant justify to themselvs spending as much as they did on their cars in the first place just for suspension parts.

I'd bet on Megan between the two.

For $800, I'd buy Koni Sports (yellows) and Ground Control sleeve coilovers.

[Apexi]

I'd also bet on Megan between the two however would save up another $200 and get KTS. Suspension parts are more important than engine power imo.

I spent 500 on used K-sports. One of the height adjustments is seized, and I can't get it un-stuck. One of the rear was seized too but I was able to get it loose after about an hour of ............

Whatever you get, make sure they have some kind of coating on the threading so the height adjustment part doesn't get seized. I think some are coated in teflon or something.

k sports are ok, i paid 795 shipped, ride like ***, id like to switch to some koni's and a nice spring, coilovers on the street with ****ty roads is gay

hm.. i just got a set of ksports.wonder how it'll ride..i'll post what happens..

I have Ksports and have had them for about 5 months now.

I will agree with most that they aren't the best coils out there but for the price they do a good job and at $745 shipped you can't beat the option of adjustable ride height/camber/dampning/preload/ect. The one flaw of the Ksports is that they use crappy springs which can easily be rectified by buying some better ones to throw on there. I have yet to have any problems with them. I do wish the rears where a little taller cuz it seems like they are almost maxed out on (raised) height adjustment and what you get is what you see in my sig.

Of course if you live in a place where the roads are all $hitty then so will your ride quality. Coils were made for track use where there are no potholes/bumps.

i was going to mount my ksports today..but i came home to see my dog was lifeless..i had to bury her

how do you adjust camber?

[babowc]

Sorry to hear about your dog bro.

To adjust camber the Ksports have the upper pillowball mounts with 4 allen head screws that you loosen and move the plates to your desired camber. As for the rears you are going to have to get adjustable RUCAs or Rear Upper Control Arms.

Clearing Brakes has nothing to do with your coilovers, it's your wheel and tire width that come into play. If you plan on using the wheels you have now and they clear the stock struts or whatever you have and brakes then you will be fine. Basically any rim that is 7" or less in the front and 9" or less in the rear will clear without spacers.

Megan FTW....I have them on my S14. A little bumpy on less than ideal roads but a good unit overall. Plus with the money you save you can buy some other susp. components. Next on my list is wheels.
