Hey guys, I'm looking at getting coilovers within the next week or two, particularly Ksports at the moment. However I just wanted to throw this out there in case anyone is planning on getting rid of there's? Eh? I guess just pm me or reply heyah. Thanks.

I was looking into KW coil overs too but it's way too expensive for if you're going for just look and comfortable drive...I'm looking into a suspension revamp with Bilstein shocks and H&R...but if you're going to be tracking your car, definitely go with the KW's...they are amazing with dampening and changing your ride height, castor and camber (to a degree)...a lot of guys have mixed reviews but that's my opinion.

Usually when your car is too bouncy it means that the coilovers are not stiff enough. Since that tells me the spring rate is good, it's the dampening that needs adjustment to match. On my KSports I noticed my front end was bouncing too much, so the next time I had the hood open I stiffened them 1 click and the bounce went away - perfect
