i think you can get them on the OLD forum thru a group buy. They are shipped to your door and brand new. The thread is always there. just type in KSport and it'll come up.

i had them..............infact i was the first person to do any type of real feed back on them. i got in touch with steve foltz and he guided me through a few measurements over the phone and we found that once they are on the car and its sitting on the ground you are left with 1 full inch LESS shock travle than stock.

stock suspension has 3 inches of travle....do the math.

do your self a HUGE favor and buy a set of AGX shocks. then buy a set of hypercoil springs. not a single person has ever argued that this setup is golden, and the same price or less than k-sports.

I like my progress(same price too), lol. but for the Price you can't beat the RM/AGX combo!

both set up is way better than my K-sport I had

Um ksports are strut adjustable so you don't lose suspension travel.

you can only adjust the front so much until it hit the axle. I think you get another .5" of travel if anything.

SUNNYboi · 02-13-2008, 12:37 AM

.5 is .5 lol. That leaves me at 1.5 inch of travel =P

WHOA!!!

This is the first I've heard about any of this jazz.... now I must investigate before making my purchase tomorrow. Would anyone think it'd be safe to assume that a set of Teins would have similar limitations?

Thanks for bringing this to (at the very least) MY attention. Maybe RMs are more likely in my future.

I wouldn't worry about it to much.. I have been running the d2 setup (same as k sport) for 2 years now with no bottoming out and my car is low...Don't forget the coilover springs wont allow as much shock movement or compression compared to a stock spring which is designed for comfort hints more travel.

veilside180sx · 02-13-2008, 03:33 AM

Adjustable lower perches on a Sentra are completely pointless, as the axle sits so close to the bottom of the strut anyway.

afaik teins SS has shortnened struts in so u get more travel but then you still sit with the axle problem
