Either setup will be fine for most street users as a "budget" coilover system, meant for those who just want to lower their car for looks.

Otherwise, look into Bilstein PSS or KWs for a good coilover system. H&R also makes a coilover application for E60s but from our experience, they tend to ride a bit too harsh for street use.

I respectfully disagree with that statement. I think KSport can perform just as well as KW/Bilstein on the track. Check out KSport's blog at http://ksportusa.com/blog/

ok ladies play nice....its all about spring rates and valving

I am playing nice. I carry KW/Bilstein/KSport, I could not care less what someone buys. I just don't want people saying things that simply aren't true.

Agreed, however...the claim that Ksport is on the same level as Bilstein/KW is a bit of a stretch, by any rule of measurement.

But I digress.

Ksport does get alot, if not all of positive reviews here. MR still yet TBD. Someone should chime in their experience with MR.

I would put my money on a set of Bilstein PSS. They are a few bills extra than then Megan/Ksport. I had Ksport on my 335i, and i still have it, the only difference is, its sitting somewhere on my storage after multiple failures. I'd contacted Anthony from Ksport about getting replacement parts from them but so far no luck. I swapped the suspension with KW v2 and for 3 years i have no problem.

Ksport could be better now but seriously i will look into Bilstein PSS before spending your hard earn dollar. Just my .02c

I will try to find pictures of the failure coils. The pillowball upper mount failed and makes unbearable tapping noise ( i know that pillowball creates more NVH, but this one caused by a failed upper bearing retainer that caused the bearing to go up and down. My rear shocks is actually came apart in half.

The coilover was a sponsored unit from Ksport that was given to us for testing. 3 years ago Ksport was not into the euro market yet. At first we were pleased with the ride and quality and for the price they are really best bang for the buck. I wish they lasted longer than the 2 months i had it.

I am stating the facts based on my experience. Others might have different experience.

Make a right decision, whichever one you choose to go with i am sure you'll be happy.

Let's get back on track. I believe the OP asked about KSport vs Megan and not KSport vs KW/Bilstein.

Michael,


Your right let's get back on track. For the prospective coilover buyers will you offer a price match and competitive takeaway?

With such low margins $925 shipped is my price. I think the support and knowledge offered more than makes up for the price difference. How much are the Megans? They can't possibly be that much less.
