the sad part is, we are both friends with the guy you sold them to shawn lol, but its all good, 500 bucks for decent suspension, its adjustable, a little bouncy but they look nice and he likes them.
shawn shawn
02-11-2008, 03:19 AM
500$ is a good price for those! They weren't horrible and they were leaps and bounds better than stock. Just after I rode on megans I knew K-sports were sub par.

Because thats the price where the coilover fairy magically makes coilovers Super exciting quality fun action!!!
True story.

I think it's awesome how little most people know about coilovers.
And let's be honest.. aren't there only a couple pro drifters on this site? The rest of us will be fine with pretty much anything, as long as they will hold up. Dorimon seems to be one of the more active amateur drifters on the site and he says he loves his MR coilovers. Jumping into a car with all the really nice parts isn't going to make you a more skillful driver.
From what I've seen and heard, MR coilovers are great for our needs and are pretty durable. Change out the springs if you want a different feel.

:yes:
separates the wonderful from the greatness.....
the N1 Pro Dampers on the 180sx ......
3 big time crashes where the coilovers are the only thing holding the wheels on, and its still perfect! and i could pull it off and still sell it for $1000 tomorrow!

You are correct sir. Most people here wouldn't even feel a difference between the Megans and anything better. I was fully content with my eibachs and kyb's until i started trying to drift 3rd gear. I noticed need for something better at that point. Most others wouldn't.
Hey, Sammy drifts on the Megans and likes them. I'm running the same stiffness setting as him and really like it so far. The only thing that would make me change them for a long time is reliability and I see no problems there...
Mine are great!

02-11-2008, 04:47 PM
why?
i cant speak for megans....
but ksports
uber bouncy, impossible to level out the dampening...... uber shitty ride once u slam on them..but on a good note every dumb ass that says the blow real easy CAN'T DRIVE. I've driven all of ohio, hit dam near every pot whole, and they are still holding strong
Stance feel lovely......but my car is gonna be a drift bitch so im going with PSM...

Those of you who have seen me drift my car with Ksports shouldnt say anything. Driver > coilovers. and mine are great for drifting.
They are kinda bouncy on the street but i dont even care, they are fine for drifting. Ksport redesigned their shit and I got some of the newer ones and I love em.
but i like megans too, and cusco's those are the only others ive driven with.

I agree they were good and fine for drifting....
but the megans seem better suited for dailying and drifting. Better damper settings, beefier welds, beefier struts, better materials......
It's all personal pref. when its said and done as with all things in drifting.

ive driven/ridden on my buddies ksports, and honestly it may have been his dampering but megans make the car feel SO MUCH MORE SOLID its not even funny. nhan and blake both have megans, and just RIDING in their cars makes me want them.

Ksports look like baby dick T28 to HKS T04z of the beffy Stance

his must have been the old ones and they must have been messed up or something. If you go to the Cordele event ride with me and tell me if they are the same or different. I have no problem with mine at all they are great

its great how ignorant people are when it comes to Ksport coilovers.. Ksport used to suck then they got better. My coilovers have been great sence Ive had them, im sure they used to suck before they were redesigned. I have them and ive been in 2 drift events and street drifted for about 6 months now on them sence I got them NEW. and havent had a problem, brents13 hit a curb and broke one of his megan racing coilovers, i hit a tree and all of mine are fine lol.

02-13-2008, 07:13 PM
I believe the ones I had were the old models. Who knows they were only on my car for a few months before I swapped em out. And that was a while ago to. They probably would be better with new springs too.

yea when i bought my Ksports, every one was bitching on how easy they blow ....
i've hit so many fuking pot holes and bad bumps in the road....they are still fine, they still feel exactly the same and no oil leaky nothing.
Most of the time i bad mouth them is because the valving on them isn't so great comapred to the now 2 diff pairs of stance coils that i have ridden on.
So for the uber cheap price of them, they are pretty dam good tho.

and it wont be any trouble for me to sell the Ksports to one of my friends. but as of right now i dont have the founds to buy new coils right now, so i gues ill just keep them till i get a job and can afford to play around.

JJ Alfano
02-24-2008, 05:38 PM
apexi is not adjustable, while megans are, and the apexis are kinda sloppy, although do their job. Megans are cheaper and better, so Apexis are a nononononono

your 240sx is the best handling car in its class or under 35k offered that same year. that speaks alot.
the suspension system is the same as a porsche that year and actually outperformed the 984 or whatever it is at testing.
we are now replacing it with wholesome goodness because i and we, cant afford to modify, cut and fabricate a nice 2008 ferrarri....
so these are our toys.
