I'm in need of a set of coilovers for my S13 Hatch. I have a budget around 1K, and was unsure of which set to get. Either a new set of Megan street or Ksport street. Please post your ride feedback and ros and cons of both sets and any others within the budget. Thanks.

wow those are hott nodoubt and if your friends are selling at that price its a steal unless they are funked up or something. 1100 compared to 2800 is a big differnce. im gonna do some research on those stance coils now. see if i like those better.

What sets the KTS and Stance system apart from others if the spring rates are similar if not the same and build quality of their competitors is notable such as Tein / Cusco / etc.??? How is the ride quality and performance aspect compared??? Thanks again guys for all the feedback.

Yokota is rarely on NICO these days... Since his email isn't in his profile, you'd probably have better luck going to his blog or catching him over at Zilvia. Good luck.
