Based on specs only I would’ve gone with NEX coilovers. I didn’t pick that mainly because I’ve been reading on various boards all over the net and the lifespan isn’t that great. The rear NEX coilovers apparantly have a tendancy of dying on 240s and 300s with just short of 6 months of daily driving usage.

No, not at all. 36 way is overkill by far. I don’t need or want 36 ways of adjustability. Most drivers are overwhelmed with just 4. If these coilovers were used daily on a track I can see the 36 way adjustability coming into play. Majority of the time I will have this setup on the softest one.

I considered all of those and the ksports were only half the price of all of those setups. The NEX setup was quarter in price than any of those. When it all came down to it the price was the breaker.

I posted all this last night but for some reason it didn’t show up. Anyway, I put on the ksports on the front first and the ride was great. I had it on the softest setting. Then I put on the backs with the upper control arms all around and now it’s stiff and kind of bouncy. Dampening is on the softest for all four. I’m gonna give it a few more days of driving to settle out and then if it doesn’t soften up I will be adjusting the ride heights etc.
