Do you know how the Ksports feel on full stiff? I am looking for coilovers and at first wanted megans but now i hear they might be a little to soft for my taste. My only hesitation is the history of Ksports failing Prematurely, maybe their new design has fixed this. How do they feeL?

Well, I like the way my dads infinity feels to drive. Firm and bumpy but stable. I am just so sick of how my car feels like right now with tein s tech springs. And they are 11k/9k spring rates. They feel very floaty and bouncy so I thought that higher spring rates would take care of this for me. It's just that I heard megans are pretty soft and I'm 17 so I like the sportier feel of firm suspension.

Bouncy and floaty can be attributed to being under-damped. Stiffer springs do reduce body roll and such, but the oscillation will still be there. Too stiff and your ride will be harsh. That's one thing Infiniti has been criticized for. They increase spring rate to have that hard feeling. BMW is probably the best at achieving firmness while still having stability, and guess their spring rate. It's a lot closer to the 2GS spring rates than it is to the Infiniti
But if your primary goal is to only have stiffness at all cost, then you'll probably be happier with something like the Bilstein, custom spec BCR or D2 coilovers.
