I am from the Audi scene, but I have heard good and bad stories on Ksport. Their early derivitives seemed to blow shocks, but they fixed alot of those problems. Many guys run them and love them. I think it depends on what you are looking for. I know some guys that run lowering springs only and love them. If you want to track your car alot, go with a fully adjustable setup with external resevoirs and linear rate springs. I personally will only run shocks that can be rebuilt. Ksports, koni, moton, penske, ohlin and some HRs are rebuildable. Good luck choosing.

I had them on my BoxsterS (sold). They offered pretty decent performance for the price. You just need to have them dialed in properly by a good tech willing to spend some time with it. In terms of handling, they seemed comparable to Bilsteins and KW's that I've had. In terms of build quality, they seem to be slightly worse.

GL with the decision. They'll be fine as long as you don't constantly track the car.

Thanks. Since I plan to track the car more and more, I'm going to bite the bullet and go with JIC's.
