Omg, i installed the rear only and I can tell you that it is really stiff and bouncing. I have not yet touch the damper setting, so it is around the middle of the the 36 levels. I will change the damper to softer tomorrow and see how it going to ride. I spent 4 hrs for both rear lol. If it still ride stiff then I'm going to sell it.

Ok I played around with the damper today and it is still really stiff. Not really great for daily driving. At full soft is kind of bouncing; 3 clicks is ok bit still not good lol. Maybe I'm used to the soft ride of the car. Anyway I found between 9~13 clicks are tolerable, but it just not for me. Let me put it this way KSport born in the track, stay in the track lol that's my take. Im going to sell it and planning to get the koni or BC coilover.

I'm getting a different coilover now. Just ordered BC BR coilover for my RL with 10/5k spring rates. The ksport I had was 14/7k spring rates. I'm looking for a near stock or comfy daily driving. A lots lexus guys are running BC coilover and they said it is really comfy. Plus my friend IS 350 is also on BC BR with 14/12k spring rates and it was a lots comfy/smoother then my KSport. Bottom line what are you looking for: Daily driving some performance handling=BC.
Stiff, track, slam all the way to the ground and don't care about the ride= ksport. You are looking at $1000 for the coilover.

Like to hear the difference of comfort level.

If I remember correctly the jdm direct bolt on kits usually have around a 10kfront/6k rear spring rate.
