I ksports on my 99 Boxster. They were installed 8 months ago.
In the beginning I had lots of trouble making the ride quality livable. After some adjustments of the dampening I am 80% happy with them. The rear of the car would hop into the air if I hit a dip in the interstate. I adjusted the dampening this weekend and the car seems fixed, I will know tonight when I drive my 120 mile interstate trip.
There are others who have ksports and have not had the problems I have had with the setup. I am running 19inch wheels with 30 series tires on my car and that may may a difference.
Ksports customer service has been very good. They have always answered my email in a short time frame.
After my trip tonight I will adjust my happiness level up if the adjustments have reduced the rear wheel hopping.

I also have Ksport on my Boxster '99. If you don't mind what is your setup? How many clicks/turns on front and how many on the rear?
Did you ever had a feeling that the car move sideways, more like driving on ice? It's really hard to describe, f.e. when I drive on uneven road my steering wheel pull either to left or right. When I drive slowly the steering is pretty tight. I changed front control arms. Tie rods looks ok. Is it the setup, or could it be my suspension?
I did the alignment twice. In both cases driving was ok for less than a week and then I felt like something is loose. I got almost 100K miles on the car.
Thanks

i do know what you are talking about, when i replaced my rear toe arms with adjustable ones i was ble to go oem on the toe and the car handles much better.

I finally manage to put the ***** on the shocks and I find out I had the stiffest setup. I turn it all the way soft to find out the difference. It is much better now.
Thanks for help.
