    St coil overs vs Ksport

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!

    Hey guys, after winter I plan on getting 19 9.5 miro 111s and some kind of coil overs. I am currently deciding between st coils and ksports. I plan on going pretty low and I know the ksports are more adjustable but I am 17 and I only have about 2500 spending money At the moment but are ksports worth the extra 350?

    Both r pretty good coils. Ksports are more popular, but I've looked at other threads on the website, and ST coils seem to be good too. It's your call.

    On the 3/S platform, Ksports generally rust out, leak, or otherwise turn into garbage within a year or so.

    Do yourself a favor and just spend the money on good coilovers ie bilstein pss9's

    and this is coming from someone who has ST's, they get the job done but are too bouncy/soft, especially when significantly lower.

    Love my PSS9s. Easily the best $2300 dollars spent on parts for this car.

    Anybody try out the Bilstein B14? I was shocked to see that you can pick them up for less than a grand. Doesn't have the adjustability of the PSS9, but have read that they are very good otherwise. Havent seen any C5 A6 review though.
