    Can't say I know either one. But Skunk2 is NOT one you want if you want a pleasureable cross-country drive.

    Check into Ground Control? I think it's what Jeff ran on his, and he said it wasn't bad...

    Look at spring rates!

    What are your plans for the car?

    If your just going to do a street setup, just get what ever is in your price range.

    If your plans are to street/track, I would go with ground control coilovers with koni yellow shocks. no more than 600lbs springs on stock koni's. They dont like high spring rates

    If it is going to be just a track car, I would do ground control coilovers with Advanced Design shocks or motons of you can afford them. Run somewhere around 600F-800R with a huge rear bar. HF front bar.

    HF front sway bar
    Suspension Tech. rear bar (24mm)

    Every installed set that I'm aware has blown one, if not all 4, struts with in six months of installation. One of the people duped into buying them is a friend of mine. Also, the damping rates aren't well matched to the spring rates, which equals crap ride quality.

    For a car that will see track and street use, go Koni yellows and Ground Controls. It'll cost the same as, or less than, K Sport and actually perform very well.

    How long ago did both of yall 1st buy your KSports? I'm pretty sure I've had mine for over 6 months & I haven't noticed anything inconsistent yet. Still rides pretty good.
