In GT4, I crashed my Evo at 140mph into a wall and it didn't even leave a scratch. Oh oh and it didn't roll over end over end either!!! But I guess it's pretty realistic compared to real life.

We didn't check the max and min of the height. I think if would have asked John to do that he would of hit me with a wrench. Fitting in an emediate coilover install was enough. I will check with Ksport to see if they have it on file.

I stopped by GSC the other day to check out the new coilovers. GREAT quality and design. A crazy good deal considering they are adjustable and come with the camber plate.

So, what is the noise level like with these coils?...Are the struts compatible with other manufacturer springs, or does this manufacturer offer quality spring options?

they do offer different spring rates but it is not suggested. The quality on the out side looks better than most of the manufactures ( teins lower line the street, flex, cs, and basic, jic, and HKS) I would rate these more on the same line as the tein RAs and RE line. the valving is set well just a matter of how well they hold up. Also KSport can assimble and rebuild in the states which makes it a big plus IMO.

(1) What does that imply about the inside?
(2) How am I sure the quality on the inside is not inferior?
(3) Are these inverted?
(4) Why are these superior (besides aesthetics) in your estimation?
(5) Are they loud and clunky or silent?

1) well from what i am told it is good stuff. I just wouldn't know the difference other than if it road well.
2) there is a 1 year warrenty with them.
3)uh no they are not.
4) do to the camber plates, the adjustability and the out side build quality.
5) quite there isn't any clunking. to tell you the truth most of the clunking on the aftermarket coils is do to improper install of the spring purch. the stock clunking is well a manufacture deal.

By the way guys I changed the spring rates on the first post, as i found out that KSport has their website messed up. they are 9k front 7k rear. not the 11/9 that is on their website.
