OH man night and day differance without adjusting them it looks like dog sh*t, but after adjustments it looks really clean. nice How is the camber, i know the front is adjustable with the plates but what happens with the rears, is stock camber adjustment sufficient or is it out of adjustment and your wearing tires down every month? Do you need a camber kit. who sells them?

I noticed they do not have helper springs on their coilovers all the expensive brands seem to have them.

Japenese/Taiwense/JDM/Korean style etc. coilovers rarely have helper springs since they have so little travel anyways.

well, not that they're BAD. but not all that great, maybe it was just my luck but my rears blew after about 8 months of daily/1 track day/3 autoXes.......but they did take care of it on warranty with minimal pain in my azz....which is good!

these are EXTREMELY popular and well received with the 240sx, rx7, and other opular drift platforms, and I have heard absolutely nothing but rave reviews from people who consistently beat on their cars drifting, have destroyed JICs and driven on Tein, Tanabe, A'pexi, HKS, Silkroad, Cusco, etc. so their durability can be vouched for. I'm not talking the typical WRX/Evo Megan "yeah they are pretty good value" good, I mean, they are performing as well or better than the other Japanese coilovers I mentioned.
In the last year or so nobody has complained anywhere from what I have heard, and their support is excellent.
they have a new, higher end external resevoir version that's going to be released any day, which are DUAL adjustable and include TWO sets of springs for arounf $1700!
All these same people would die laughing if they even heard yuo mentioning them and KSports in the same sentence. No comparison.

I will probably be getting these or KTS coilovers.

I am not sure if this kind of coilover (less expensive like ksport,megan ect) are good for autox. I allready have my stock springs with Espelir GT. And I don't know if this coilovers are an upgrade comapre with my setup.

Any experience like this?????

Is it the GR+ Pro you're talking about?

Do these have aluminum shock bodies? Any issues with rust?

any coilovers r gonna be better then lowerin springs. it just comes down to durability, affordability, adjustability, and the valvin of each, i think ive said it before, but they have great customer service, and any rebuilds u might need from them is done in chicago.
