coilovers are as in no means going to be comfortable... your going to feel every little thing on the road and the bumps are gonna be a killer to go over...

never heard of the g4's, but there are a few on the camry boards that have ksports

Umm ok, lets see here.............. are they comfortable?? NO............ YOU WILL FEEL EVERY BUMP ON THE ROAD, i dont care how smooth the road is, you will feel it . Also i got a question for ya, why coilovers, do you want to drop your car more than 2 inches??? if the answet to that is no, than id reconsider. Also with the coilovers your sacrificing ALL comfort, i just hope you know that. Ive got K-Sports on mine, and the only reason i got them besides that there just freaking badass, is that i wanted my camry in the weeds, and it is sitting only 3 inches from the ground in the front (yea i measured ). So think about that. Also D2 is basically the same as Ksports.

They can be perfectly comfortable depending on your spring rates and dampening adjustment. K-Sport's 9kgF/5kgR default setup is kind of high for the street IMO. I'm not sure how they've got the dampening set up though. I'm currently running 5kgF/3kgR on my non-dampening adjustable Hotbits and the front is still a bit stiff, although the rear is very comfortable.

There's other reasons to get coilovers than just for the height adjustability. Frankly I could have cared less on my stock wheels, although it was nice once I got some bigger ones. I got them to eliminate dive under braking, body roll during turns and quick manuevers, and also rear end tuck during acceleration.

3rd Generation adustments

can`t you adjust the damper to soft? Instead of making it super hard? thats why its called fully adjustable no? coret me if i am wrong.... now the question is, is it worth paying about 1000 dollars for it? i bult my own set of coilovers, but its too bouncy, because i don`t have the adjustable damper. Do you know other sites or anybody of where I can purchase a set of fuly adjustable coilovers? I bought 18x8 racing hart c5s and want to put it onto my car, don`t want it to scratch it onto my fenders when bouncing all over the place.... la la la

K-Sports ARE fully adjustable, 36 way adjustable that is . EVen with it on soft mine are stiff as shit, but if you went with lower spring rates youd be fine.
