Cup suspension vs. K-Tec coilovers

[mikeh]

Opinions?

I'm not interested in the fact that H&R, KW or AST are better, just a comparison between standard Cup suspension and the Ktec kit.

Ideally, comparing brand new items against brand new items.

Handling wise Cup shocks with Eibach springs. That's what K-Tec recomended to me

I have Ktec coilovers paired with a rear adjustable ARB and it's perfect for me. Quite hard, but it handles very well on the road (I don't go on track), and obviously I can have it a bit lower and I think it looks awesome.

You'll get plenty of people telling you they're crap, but personally, for the money, they do the job for me.

Didn't you have Sportlines before? How does the K-tec stuff compare? (Ignoring the ARB)

Ignoring the ARB the sportlines were a lot better. They were more comfortable and they handled better.

With the ARB, I actually think it's on par in terms of handling, but obviously the coilovers are more uncomfortable still.

The only reason I went coilovers is because I wanted it lower. I had to compromise with regards comfort though. I'm happy with my setup now and I LOVE how it sits.
