    I had some of them. Their just re branded kyb gr2s for a fraction of the cost. Rode fine but I had shitty sprint springs at the time. Hell they did fine even on the ground controls. Didn't blow or anything and I was just as low as I am now.

    get a lower spring rate or a helper spring our cars are actually suppose to have 6kg in the front and 4.5kg in the back the actual setup that you get doesn't allow stroke with the spring and dampening valving setup.

    ksport are 8kg front and 6kg in the back

    i just got a helper spring and turn it into a more street-able car.

    of a helper spring setup ?

    Helper springs take on the more lower rate situation like freeway expansion gaps and soften pothole hots

    I am getting better and proper coils for our cars. so no helpers yet.

    we need more suspension tuning, also i got goodies coming in ill post more when they arrive.


    i think Ksport sales them well worth the upgrade and look for roller bearings they stop spring pop when you turn


    I been doing a little research on suspension tuning, plus watching a lot of touge car setups. You really see how the cars are setup for canyons, many are stiff but still some stroked.

    instead of a helper spring you can also buy a spring of the size necessary and keep whatever rate you want.
    If you go this route just be careful because high spring rates with a tall spring will not let you go as low as a softer rate. :p

    I've never seen or heard of helping springs like that... weird.

    I just got super stiff springs to begin with, then got shorter shocks so that they could still go slammed! (then hated the slammed look so that was a waste lol)
