After a lot of reasearch I was planning to pick up the KSports but ended up finding a good deal on used KWs. Had I not go the KWs I would have gone with the KSports.

hey guys thank you soo much for all the replies, it is really appreciated! I have narrowed it down to KW or Ksport and am leaning towards Ksport. I will be posting a new thread tomorrow and in the soon coming future to get as much feedback as possible on a few other mods I's looking forward to

I think they are maid in Taiwan. I actually have more questions on the CKS but don't want to hijack. Hopefully Trinity will start a thread on it.

I've only heard good thing about Ksports and they are probably one of the best bang for your buck coils.

I had a set of ebay coils (not KSports) and they were good and did the job but I picked up a set of KW V2's and it's a night and day difference. For the most part you get what you pay for.

ya ksport will do the job well, but if you want proper valving in the shock and for that to match the spring you need to go KW, JIC or Moton

CKS Suspension is made in Taiwan, but yes KSports are good too. I'm just giving an alternative option. I personally never tested the KSport myself, but I do trust John with his opinion and I've tested the CKS and I love it.

To the OP - sorry for hijacking your thread.
