just installed my set a couple of weeks ago. I dont have any prior coilover experiences so I have nothing to compare them to. Initially I had the back set to the stiffest and the fronts a half a turn away from the stiffest setting. The car handled incredibly well in highspeed turns and body roll was almost completely eliminated. I was surprised that even at the stiffest setting, the ride wasn't bone jarring or as harsh as others made it seem. So far i'm loving everything about these coilovers and would recommend them to anyone. They also seem to be an awesome deal considering price and the range of dampening adjustments available as opposed to the tein ss. plus, if you want to opt for different spring rates, ksport makes that option available as well.

yea dont worry i tuned it down. I was just saying to emphasize that it's not incredibly stiff. I bought mine used but you can get them new from our vendors for a reaonable price. i believe uglypsycho is selling his used set on the blackmarket as well. why are you thinking of swapping out the Apexi's anyways? oh and i'm sure these will perform well on a road course

the ksports should be good if you would like a stiffer setting than the apexi and teins.

i know ugly had the apexi on b4 the k sport, and he had the Tein SS b4 the Apexi

Apexi is good, but coilovers will only last a few years, so i am going to sell them b4 they start to go bad...and so does my TL

yes i am selling in late Oct...since i won't be able to drive it after Nov 1st

my civic is good, but takes too long for the swap so i still don't have time to take things out of my TL...have to finish my civic first b4 i can part out my TL

i will be able to drive it probably next week...it's almost done and just need to connect the harness...um...Type-R is coming

I switched to Apexi N1 World Sport Coilovers because the Ksports were to stiff for my liking. So far I've had H&R springs + stock shocks, Ksports, and now the Apexi's. Overall the Ksports are the stiffest and handle the best.
