K sports are pretty good. The company is out here in AZ. They ride nice. And it all depends how you like your ride also. I'm kinda in the middle not to soft an not to stiff. I haven't installed the Megan yet. I will tmrw. I have pics up after the install.

Replaced my USDM antenna with the JDM Toyota factory antenna. My radio signal is the same not worst so that's a good thing.

Also, I replace my OEM shift **** with a Fortune Auto mirrored titanium shift ****.

Installed the Figs Engineering hood props, battery tie down bar, and Altezza badgeless grill.
