K-Sport lowering springs?

I came across these on Ebay. Just wondering if anyone has experience with these suckers? How is the ride quality? I did a search, but couldn't find any info.

Statistically they are a very competative spring, Estimated 1.8 front /rear drop Enables style and performance. K-sport does produce repatable products wich you already knew. Guessing, the ride quality is equal to or greater than the DropZone Spring.
IMO a Great buy

I know I could probably search and find this, but maybe if I just go on and ask it here, it'll help someone on down the road who finds this thread and wants the info as well.

Well, lowering springs with that much of a drop would surely blow the stock struts, right? What're some recommended struts that could take that?

Oh, and if you get them, you'll have to post how good they are.

Thanks B, that's the original thread I was looking for.

335/250 seems pretty damn high so I think I'll look at something else.
