Default Ksport Coilovers (besides the Kontrol Pros)

I know everyone (well at least 90%) hates the Kontrol Pro's by Ksport, going as far as comparing them to KW, Stance, and other pricier coilovers. This is not one of those posts.

I'm more curious if anyone has used their other coilovers, such as:

GT Pro
Spec-AR
Spec-GR
Version RR
Slide Kontrol
Circuit Pro
Version DR

So judging by everyone's response (or lack thereof), noone has used any of their other coilovers?

This is why I love and hate this forum.

I have K Sport coils. Theyre okay for the price, plus theyre true coils. Theyre not amazing but they get the job done and my ride isnt bouncy. I set the "stiffness" to the middle though.

If I could go back I wouldve opted for some BC or Stance coils.

Kontrol Pro's?

Not the topic of this post, but what makes you want to change them? Have you tried different dampening settings? Is it too harsh?

Yeah theyre Kontrol Pro's.

Its not harsh at all, ride is good. I dont feel like the spring rate adequately matches the rebound on the shocks TBH. Again, theyre not bad by any means but I expected more from true coils. Ill try out new dampening settings soon, I am taking it to Fontana Race track on July 18th.
I had Function and Form coil overs on my old '99 Civic and the ride was amazing and very comfortable. Everything just felt right.

Also doesnt help that after I lowered my Z, almost every bushing and ball joint decided to take a dump.
