I don't know where your getting your information wes. I guess I didn't read the miata guys opinions, cuz those guys suck.I did get my info from the "MIATA" guys. And I dont know where your gettting that they ALL suck. It really depends on the site your on and how you approach them. I'm definately not hatin on your purchase, just pointing out what I have heard. I have NO BASIS otherwise to draw from. So, if your happy with them, then great. I will say this tho. The single best improvement you can do on a Miata to get better handling is to do SWAY BARS FIRST. That will be net the biggest initial gains. Any Miata auto-x'er or road racer will agree with that. So, if your plans are to do either of them, invest in some. You wont be dissapointed.

those Ksports will ride a whole lot better then a set of GC's slammed on stock aftermarket struts bouncing off the bump stops.

There is many options in the $1500 range. There is no need for him to spend $4k for what he's trying to do. The big miata road race guys are spending $2k or less on their setups. More or less for what he's probably gonna end up doing w/ the car is driving it those Ksports will ride a whole lot better then a set of GC's slammed on stock aftermarket struts bouncing off the bump stops.do you read anything i post. I said custom valved? do you know what that means? it means they set up the valving inside the shock to work with the car, ( weight,useage,etc...).
Now i had never mentioned this to joel it wasn't even towards him. it was towards brandons and zac. but you would have known that if you would pay attention.
$1500 is also not under $1000. do math. shit.

There has been people modify the shocks to accept a shorter shaft but @ that point your already in the price range of a full coilover that was designed to work this way and not have your springs unloading. I've had setup sleeve style coils and aftermarket shocks and they simply suck for ride quality. I would never again spend $1k on a sleeve over coil and shocks vs a true coilover. Anyone who has ever had a set of good coiolovers would know there worth the $$ and not go back to a sleeve over setup.
For a DD he made a better decision in his purchase.

let me know how those end up working for you, i was thinking about getting some, but decided not to due to hearing a lot of bad about their reliablity. there have also been some people that said they havnt had any problems, while more than a couple have said they lasted less then 2,000 miles.

well for one, "YOU" don't know how to adjust dampening, not even a bit. so why get it?Uh, I set will set it Harder for sporty driving/ racing and softer for street driving. If I wanted to "dial in" my suspension I wouldve got more expensive coil overs. I love how you hate on everything anyone else gets cuz you've ruined/ taken apart all your cars...

but i would see if you can find a set of stance gr+. they arent that expensive and are comparable to the KW's from what i heard from some of the TA guys here. just another option.Stances are what I'm looking at getting for my car. There aren't too many people that have had them yet, so most people are sticking with skunk 2 pro c's. Pro C's are about $250 bucks more, but are much more widely used. What do you recommend about Stances??
EDIT: anyone had experience or opinions on KW Variant 2 Coilovers? I found an amazing deal.

I have the gr+, along with a few frineds of mine that have the same setup, and another with the gr+ pros. If they are set up right they have been very comaprable to the KW variants, and cusco setups. and they are beefy as hell
all of which are used in time attack racing besides mine and the drag car. another friend of mine runs with D2's and hates them.
