Ksport Coilovers

I am thinking about getting some Ksport Coilovers CTY500-KP, but i was just wondering if any one was already running these one their corolla. I tried looking up reviews for the coilovers but i couldn't find anything.

i know there is a thread dedicated to coilovers & springs but i just wanted to see if i could talk to anyone that has or had these.

here is the link to the site that i will buy them from

torres16 used to have them before he switched over to BC coilovers.
they can be dropped the lowest.
thats what people said between that and megans at the time.
thats why A LOT of 9th gen corollas have them...slammed

but i think the ride was a little stiffer? or the megans were smoother?
dont really remember...but now some people here are running BC

dont really know of anyone running ksports now...

I'm running the 10thgen coilovers, tucking all 4 wheels on stockies with the stiffness to "standard" or "zeroed out" This thread reminded me of calling ksport...

Basically,
Pros:
Really smooth (close to eibachs w/ my setup).
Drop is great.
Install is fairly easy and straight forward.
Adjustable.(same as all coils)

Cons:
Instructions are straight retarded.
The top OEM nuts for the front strut tower DOES NOT fit the 10th gen coilover I had to go out and buy tall nuts that would.. (grr..)
First time adjusting is a massive bitch, mainly because the lack of instructions.
YOU WILL SCRAPE if you dont enter/exist things at an angle.
Handling, this gets a little controversial, some say the handling isnt as good as some other coils but over eibach I'd say its an improvement in body roll. I haven't gotten a chance to really test it out though.

While it may seem like there are more cons than pros, its mainly due to the annoying time I had dealing with the install. Ksport is actually great at answering your question and delivery time (3 freaking days to california!!!)


EDIT: TH Motorsports are a great company loved dealing with them, in the end I just ordered straight from Ksports though which just made things simple.
