Ksport Pro Coilovers

Sup everyone. Just wanted to to get everyone opinion on theses coilovers: http://www.ksportusa.com/products/index.html. As compared to the Tein SS/Flex kit. I'm comtemplating on getting these but wanted some input if anyone has ever tried these on their civic or other applications.

K Sports are much firmer than the SS. K Sporst are fully adjustable in terms of ride height b/c the entire shock is threaded, similar to the FLEX. The SS are better for a street setup with maybe some slight track time. If you need either let me know. I sell KSPORT and TEIN.

So between the Ksport and Tein Flex kit what would you prefer. I am leaning more for a street setup since I don't track as much, but want to get into tracking more frequently (monthly). Thanks for all the help.

The Ksport website and company resides in Europe. I'm guessin their chassis codes for the civic are FD__.

Here in the USA:
Coupe - FG1
Coupe Si- FG2
Sedan- FA1
Sedan Si-FA5

I confirmed with another member here and said that the will definitely fit the US coupe or sedan.

Excelerate, can you shed some light/input into whether or not they will fit.

Don't forget about AMR engineering. I have a set of their coilovers and couldnt be happier. Fully adjustable, lifetime waranty, and cheap (about a grand). I have a review with pics posted here look it up.

So you have a non-si coupe?? Well, as soon as you get those bad boys on, you can do a nice review for the rest of us that haven't tried out these coilovers yet. And don't forget to take pictures of the actual coilover and when they are on the car. Thanks bro.

For the street setup the TEIN SS would be your best bet.

The K Sports will fit the US Civic Si according to K Sport.

Well, the KSports will be shipped mid-next week. How much difference lies between the FG1 and FG2 suspension set-up?
