Default Many parts up for sale (7:KSport Coilovers or OEM Struts)

7) Ksport Coilovers or OEM Struts.
I also have used (4) OEM complete strut assembly (including top mounts, springs, struts, etc.).
They have 100,000 miles on'em. I recently purchased KSport coilovers and are mounted on the car. The coilovers have less than 200 miles on'em. I'm up to sell either one and keep the other one for the car.

KSport coilovers: Asking 600 shipped





OEM strut assembly: Asking $250

(shipping on these things are around $100 because of the weight..)

What is the spring rate on these? I've been reading that they ride a little rough, although the ride quality can't be worse than where I'm at right now with my rear struts having no life left in them...

Do any of you know how difficult it would be for me to install these myself? I looked at the strut removal/installation instructions in my Haynes manual and it didn't look that hard to do, but I could be wrong.

the spring rate on these are 7 front and 5 rear. As far as installation goes, its not hard at all and shouldn't take long if you know what you're doing. The hardest part about coilovers is tuning it right. By that i mean playing with the damper to get the ride that you want.

just remeber that when you're putting them in, don't preload the spring for any reason. it will give you a bouncy and stiff ride. As far as ride quality, I finally got mine the way i want it and its a nice ride. its stiffer than stock and you feel the little bumps, but overall its bearable, considering that I drive around houston on a daily basis. If you want something closer to stock, then you should consider aftermarket shocks and lowering springs.
