Dude, I have ksport, I know people will disagree with me, but the adjustability is there, and it is greatly noticable, I actually like a stiffer ride, some might disagree, but with the right camber and the right drop, you might not have to spend 3000+ on suspension upgrades and adjustments. Yea you can pay 2500 for kw and the control arms, rear toe, bolts and not to mention install and alignment. Your choice bro

Yessir, tein in the past, and my friends kw frs. Yes it's more comfortable and of course better quality. But again we are talking about under 2000 for the guy, I don't know if that's the total budget or just for coilovers. I can only give my feedback on products I've tested. So many on this forum would obviously say kw, and that's the most logical choice. I personally do not have a problem with ksport. It had held up great 5000 miles, no weird occurrences, it is aggressive when I would like it to and softer and still responsive when taking those long road trips. I'm currently almost maxed out with these ksport and for dd, I would recommend them. Speed bumps, horrible roads, tight corners, maneuverability, all have performed well with these coilovers, not everyone has 3000 to spend on coilovers installs, and not everyone is autox. And I know what most will say, "save up" yea sure let me save up for who know how long just to install some coil overs. But again this is my opinion.

LCA's arent required on everything. Camber bolts/plates will do just fine in some cases.

You really don't "need" any of those extra parts for daily status, but what you just stated is for every other coilover setup or even stock per say so that argument is invalid. Price mostly comes from purchasing damper quality, reliability, and consistency.

nope. I was told by some reputable shops and members on here that any drop less than an inch, the OEM rear control arms are fine, sure you can replace them. they cost hundreds for not much adjustment needed. Whereas there are cheaper options within that adjustment range.

To each it's own, not bashing kw, they are by far one of the best, but as for me I have no complaints on mine for dd, and some twisty roads, not dissapointed. Not bouncy, comfortable depending on the settings, obviously it your building a race car neither kw or ksport are appropriate for and real track car, it's all about finding a median, and also ones future plans with the vehicle.

This is true, that's why it's important to dial everything in right. Make the proper adjustments and a lot of testing.
