Default Tiens or K-sport

I'm just wondering which coilover is better,

i have a 95 sc400, riding on 20's, I want the the balance feel, of sports and luxury

So i was looking on ebay and these where almost the same price, i just don't know which one to choose:

TEIN SUPER STREET SS COILOVER
KSPORT KONTROL PRO COILOVER

Any input would be great guys, thanks in advanced =)

Try and stay away from K-sports as they are junk. Stick with the Teins or better yet Stance

Dude, I was in your position just a few weeks ago but I ended up purchasing the Tein CS coilovers. The ride quality is BETTER and SMOOTHER than stock.




Tein CS/ end thread.

If you want alot of adjustment go with Stance, if you want more of a oem feel go with Teins. Its all about what you want, I wanted to be able to tuck all 4 corners to where i couldnt drive the car and stance can give it to you. Also you get more shock travel with stance than teins, stance have a preloaded spring so you dont adjust the spring you adjust the shock hight which=better ride. Ive had both and im alot more happy with stance and will be picking up a new set after I find a new SC. Ill also think you wont be happy with the Ride Hight.

Here is my old SC with Stance. Befor I got the AC kit i had the front tires tucked with still a ****load of adjustment to go down.
