I say for the better of our community one of your get the K-sport so that way we have to fully reviews on coilovers. That would be great! Then I can really start saving.

Could you also take a picture of the NEX front next to the stock front and the NEX rear next to the stock rear? That would be very helpful.
As for K-Sport, the only problem I have with them is the adjustable dampening knob doesn't click (so you can't say I have them at 8 clicks like the Tein SS). I guess you could just notch the knob and the strut to see how many times you turn the knob. But hey, you get what you pay for. Also, the guy I am dealing with for the K-Sport is awesome. I think I've sent him 8 emails with questions and he has politely answered them all within a day.

Tein SS, and I will never buy them again. I've tested quite a few suspension
setups on my car. I even had some custom coilovers made for my car and ran
them for about 2 years till I finally decided I wanted to go back to a
rebound and compression adjustable coilover. That is when I chose to try the
Ksports, and the quality is just top notch. Like right when you open the box
you can just tell by looking at them the machine quality is awesome. Take
your time, I don't blame you. But trust me, I know you'll like em.

Im trying to gather as much information on the systems as I can. I stumbled across this page. http://www.gearshift.co.uk/acatalog/Seatposts.html They seem to make bicycle seat posts.
EDIT: They also make Racing Seats http://www.sromagazine.com/shop/prod...oducts_id=1325

I just got an email from another vendor selling K-Sport and he says he has them for the Lancer OZ for $920 + shipping. Things are looking a bit more promising.

I have also just put in an order for the NEX Model: SSML-0105 , from
http://www.rennenmotors.com. Cant wait to get em! I went through progress, and Tein Lowering springs, and riding on stock now. I will also be giving updates, W/ PICTURES BECUASE IF YOU DONT HAVE ONE, YOUR NEIGHBOR DOES!!! :-P
I will probably be needing a camber kit, especially for the back. Anyone have a link where I can get one @ a decent price, info is appreciated.
