That depends more on you than the KSPorts. There's 36 stiffness settings, you just need to play around and find the setup that works best for you. I like mine very stiff (4 from stiffest in front and 3 in the rear), but that may not be the best for others. That is the beauty of that much adjustability.

Sounds great man. How stiff does the ride feel? I have H&R's on my E60 (w/ stock struts etc) and DAMN I hate the harsh ride. I hear two different things locally - coil overs are even stiffer and the coil overs can be dialed to be "more cushy"... What are your thoughts??? The only reason for my suspension changes are strictly for a better looking stance. Do not care at all about "performance" etc.
Help me out fellas... Should I switch??? Thanks in advance.

Thing is that when you put on springs alone the decision will be made for you. Stock shocks with lowering springs don't last very long, you'll need new shocks within 6 months to a year. Yes, coilovers can be MUCH stiffer than stock shocks with springs (mine are), but they can also be adjusted to suit your comfort/driving style, so coils are well worth the investment.

If your car is a non-sport, I think it would be wise to get the shorter endlinks.

Yes that's the post I was talking about. So, those with sport package already have shorter end links then since the car is already slightly lower than non sport?
