ksport is no good. if you buy them because you are broke and and expect crap but something just a bit better then stock then you will get crap that you expected. i know several people that had ksport coilovers on an STI and 240. no experience with supra/SCx00 but i think it will be the same. the following issues.

spherical bearings in the camber plates squeak and finally seized up.
the ride is very bouncy- damping off like crazy

this happened on both cars...within 10K.

on the STI the shocks also started leaking and completely blew out.

if you buy cheap crap you get marginal results.

I voted "other" because I've ridden in supras/SC with Zeal,JIC,Tein, and one Cusco Zero. I preferred the Cusco's step up because its simple... I ordered Zero2's for the Econ(EDFC..) the supra I rode in didnt have any damping adjustments and it was a bit rough but not teeth rattling. The Zero2 has 5 dampening settings..1-2 street, 3-4 aggressive(depending on tire) and 5 track. It still hasnt arrived yet but as soon as they go in you guys will get pics and feedback.. how many other guys are running zero2's w/Econ?

My New JIC FLT-TAR's are awsome! Great ride! Super easy to adjust Height, spring rate and dampening. Light years ahead of my old Tein HA's

i cant speak for my SC. but on my supra i got the D2's and i have had no problems with them at all after a year and a half now. they make a sturdy product in my eyes. repairable in the US too. i will be buying them for my SC for sure.
