I've got a set of the K-sports. Yes they are kinda cheap at 800ish; but they work really well. I've also run Cuscos and JIC (both used), the Ks are more of a pain to adjust. They ARE worth the price though. Fit and finish is perfect on these. The orange anodizing on them is sweet too These are better than the Megan hack-jobs. The Ks also have an Australian counterpart GR, GP racing (something like that) which is a big Aussie suspension company. So, they do actually have some effort put into them. That's my 2 cents.

You just stated your problem right there, Eibachs and stock struts don't mix well. The stockers don't have the damping ability to keep up w/ the Eibach springs. My buddy had the same problem on his Daytona, Eibachs on stock replacement Monroe GP struts, bounced like crazy. Swapped in Konis, no more bouncing, and sticks very good.

If I was you, I'd try just replacing your struts w/ Konis and see how it does, before dropping ultra-bucks on coil-overs. I bet you it will handle very good w/ the Konis And if you are dead set on CO's, Koni also offers struts for that that too.

Go with KTS from splparts.com, they are $1100 and excellent. I ran them on my s14 and never had a single complaint. My friend runs them on his FC and loves them, SPL has quality stuff and they stand by it.

Stance is also really good.

I've read that the Ksport don't click when adjusting the damper.
Other than that, it's ok as the say. One person says, he blew a rear. I don't know how.

just spending a few hundred more you get a much better coilover. someone mentioned KTS and those are good also.

between these two though, i'd probably say k-sport.
although i was kind of in this situation and decided that a good set of struts and springs i would be just as happy with, and i spent half as much as a low end set of coilovers.

t really depends on what you want to do with the car. If drift/road racing is your main goal coilovers are gona be a must. BUt if it is a dd and you only drive it hard sometimes, struts and springs will make you more than happy.
