Nope, but that spring rate looks like it's high enough to give you a harsh ride if your roads aren't silky smooth all the time.  That's just my opinion though.

A girl I used to know had Ksports on her 4cyl coupe and the ride was very stiff.  It's one of the reasons I don't really like coilovers.  If your car is not strictly for show (which hers was), or you're not swapping wheels out every 6 months, or you don't live in a winter weather state, you really don't need coilovers.  The Neuspeed supercup kit has enough height adjustment to suit the majority of applications.

Ya I got the Ksport coilovers and they are stiff for the average daily driver. If ya roads aren't perfectly smooth, then you'll get a bumpy ride like Chino said "bucking like a bronco." Roads here in NY are horrible, but I know where and how to maneuver around the good and bad streets.

Thanks for the input guys. I have been reading up on the skunk2's and they dont have any damping settings... I think the best way to go will be like all of you have said, go with the supercup kit. Since the roads here suck like hell and most of them i have to drie there are no other ways to get to work.

i think it drops roughly 1.8 inches all around but we shall never know as it dont say lol good find but i thknk i am just going to go with the supercup kit since you can adjust the stiffness/softness of it the car wont see much track time until it is paid for so i think everyone is right... no need for coilovers atthe moment

my history w/ stock shocks and lowering springs are just fine. i used to have tanabe DF210's and he ride was like OEM. now i'm dropped on Ground Control coilovers, the ride's changed but not bad at all. i've had em on for about 6mos now, still running good.
