Ksport GT springs

Ksport has released some new springs for the camry! I don't know if I should swap my H&R springs for them...

^^ i saw the same springs for the gen 3 models earlier tonight. except i don't know if they're trustable yet. if i reckon correctly, k-sport and d-2 are the same brand almost and at the last d-2 group buy things became bad cuz of the poor quality. can anyone back me up on this or correct me?

the ksport and d2 coilovers come from the same manufacturer, they are poor quality, with uprated springs the standard dampers cannot rate evenly with. the squeeking was a man defect which had a return to replace deal. the c/o's re fine as long as you dont run more then the 5kg/mm springs.

to make it easy fo ryou to work out, worn out needing regassing tien coilovers will still perform ebtter then new d2's

no idea who makes ther standrd coil springs though.

It was a bad shipment of shocks that caused problems for alot of people (i know other forums had porbelms too) but before and now after that manufacturer defect D2s and K-sports are not of poor quality. I have riden in several cars sporting K-sport suspensions with spring rates stiffer than 5kg and they perform incredibly. Are they as good as Teins, not at all, but poor quality is in no way an accurate description.

I just saw these on eBay and had to search to see if anyone had talked about them here.

Should I get them, or not?

Someone will have to be the first and report back. Might as well be you. You will be the hero.
