Love em, just throw on a little rust protectant on the threads.

My car is a completely stock 90 coupe 5speed(open diff) with the exception of KTS coilovers and spl's ruca's.

You can easily pitch the car sideways with a tap of the brake mid turn...very predictable feel even with over 100,000 miles on the rest of the bushings.

Not too bumpy after a couple weeks to break in the dampers and springs. At first i considered going down 1kg/mm on the spring rate front and rear, but now I like the ride.

Anyways, best buy for the money imo!

i've had my KTS for over 2 years and well over 75k miles and they are still running strong. this is over some nice roads and some rough roads. pot holes, you name it i've probably hit it. only problem i've had was my passenger side adjustment knob on the front damper siezed and eventually broke off when i used vice grips to try and break it free. damper still works great, just can't adjust it anymore. for the money you can't go wrong. they are a little on the stiff side, but they corner like no other, i'm still running the stock sway bars too

I think this is as good of a place as any to give my opinion and share my problems. I've got a set of KTS coilovers with only a few thousand miles on them, and performance-wise they seem to be great, except for like alot of people i hear about, my adjustment knobs don't work, and i think one of my rears coilovers is bad becasue it much more harshly and clunks more than the rest of the corners.

That bieng said, I wish I would have boughten the Stance kit, it seems to be a little smoother ride, and the handling isn't bad either.
