Final thoughts

I've done alot of research and have a decision to make between the KSport Kontrol Pro Coilovers or the Bilstein Sport shocks with H&R OE springs. Which one provides better cornering? Which has better comfort? I like to have a good ride on the road but want to turn at high speeds. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Awesome! Bilstein it is...thanks for the input guys. Ordering them tonight. Also would I need a camber kit for this install? I've been running 17x7 +45 offset rims with Nankang 215/45r17 tires and have been changing the tires constantly. At one time I had to change all 4 tires 2 times within 3 months. I keep getting alignments but it still wears from the inside. Mainly the front tires.

Are you lowered already? If not id find some where better to go.

Also with the OE you wont need a camber kit. With the sport, its a possibility. I wouldnt get one till you get an alignment to tell you.

I'd go to a different shop. A good alignment is all you'll need.

Where in VA are you located? Which dealer is doing the alignment. That is not a good sign. Good luck with the shocks and springs.
