Default K sport coilovers

Hey guys does anyone no much about the K Sport coilovers? quality? softness? durability?

I have a friend with a Forster XT, will they fit if the coilovers are for a WRX GC8 99-00 model? are they a universal fit?

cheers

I believe they are within the budget range of coilovers - not sure on spring rates.

The XT uses the same as GDA - so the rear hats may be an issue.

if u want comfortable coilovers that are better than ur standard suspension then ull need to buy something like ohlins, whiteline grp4s etc.. not cheap though..

The budget coilovers are very harsh...
