From what I've read here on the forum and other forums... Not too shabby!

They perform awesome...... I put it to the test driving 6 hours from MN to Chicago with them (and the roads are pretty bad a long the way). Ive taken corners at 35-40mph with them also.... no roll what so ever.... all in all.... a pretty good choice for the price.....

 

one word, rails.

 

2 words kidney failure.

I have them, and while I like them for high performance driving, they are not good for daily city driving.

 

you'll love 'em for handling. i'm rollin on a set right now. yes, highway driving is bumpy, but they love corners like a fat kid loves candy.

 

is it speed elements motorsports? Do they have a website? if they do could you post it? Thanks!

They are a good company. I bought mine through them off ebay, then found out they were local. I had to pay taxes, but they waived the shipping fee since I picked them up from their store. Small shop that probably specialized in mail order, but nice prices.

 

I have em' and freakin love them! Do not buy these if you want comfort! They are stiff as they come! I weigh 175 and if I sit on the hood or front quarter panel it is hard to see if the suspension moves at all.

05GT did you get the winning lottery numbers and not tell us something? You have been buying up a storm! Lucky bastard, you must not be married!

 

You can buy them off their Ebay website and save over a $100 off their website! I want to get these really bad, but no scratch to fix my itch! As far as how bouncy they are, can you not set them top a setting that makes them more city drivable, or are they bouncy all the time no matter what setting?

Nah, I didn't win the lotto, but I reenlisted and my buddy uncle sam gave me a nice bonus.. Paid off some bills, put some back, and set a bit to side to fix up the Tibby...

Well, there is adjustability in the shocks as to their stiffness, but I have tried close to the very softest setting and it doesn't help much. The problem isn't with the stiffness of the shocks, but the spring rate of the springs, which you can't really do anything about. I've tried both soft shocks, hard shocks, and finally came to a happy medium in the middle.

But it is still a pretty harsh ride.

You gotta pay to play man...

Nice purchase 05, I want a ride in that thing when you install them for sure!

Side note: Is it just a rough ride or is it bouncy? I can handle rough, but bouncy would be aweful.

It is not bouncy. The springs are just so stiff that the ride is a bit harsh. On certain roads it may feel a little bouncy because of the road. On a bouncy ride you would feel a little float over bumps, this just feels hard.

 

What is the best thing to buy if your looking for a softer ride, i do a lot of traveling and i want something comfortable on road trips. do i just use what i have stock or is there anything out there for me?

i have a 03 gt tib

 

Eibach dampers/springs combo. Do them together and save on install price.

I just thought of one more bonus on the KSports, 05GT you willlove the improvement in acceleration in your Tib. The car will not squat and dive when you shift. I swear my car was faster when leaving a stop light with the new suspension.

That's one of the questions that I was going to ask... with the Tanabe springs that I have now, I don't care how smoothly I shift... the *** just squats and it looks like I'm gonna stall or something.

This will definitely be a plus.

 

well Ksport sells 3 different coilover setups for the tib.....perhaps one of them has a slightly softer spring rate...

Most of the time it's just a bit rough, but there are times it can be pretty bouncy. To the point where my girlfriend has to hold her boobs because they are bouncing up and down (I don't mind that part). Typically the bounciness only occurs when you are under 25 mph.

It's just hard to find a happy medium on the shocks. You set them too hard, and the suspension doesn't move at all. You set them too soft, and its very very bouncy. I have mine set pretty soft, but I change it around every so often to try and find the optimal point.

Priceless comment!
