I used my ksports for 3 months starting in january. by the time i pulled them off they looked like they had been lying in the bottom of a lake for 5 years. Previously I had BC Racing coils on the car for a full witner - they looked brand new when I removed them. The damper adjusters never froze and the perches moved smoothly. It seemed like the ksports just used cheaper materials and were not put together very well. Considering these were marketed as a "rally coilover" i expected better harsh environment performance - I probably only put 1,000 miles on them...
