Default Reinforcing my point about Coilovers.

Many of the suspension regulars have likely seen me bashing some big name brand coilovers like JIC, Tein, Ect. I have posted plenty of info, but here's someone's personal experiences with KSport. I'd steer clear. heh.

To bad the factory does not even take the time to pair shocks up together so at least the adjustment side to side is the same, even if they have no reference to other cars with the same setup.

Chris, not sure I'm piking up what you're putting down. You mean the Nissan factory, or the Ksport factory?
I think that they don't even know what the rates are. I bet their tolerances for production are very broad.

I am talking about K-sport, if they did dyno sheets for each shock and then paired similar shocks as packages, at least click 24 on the right side would be close to click 24 on left side of the car.
