Why not put them on your car? Or are you asking if one of us is willing to take this coilover and install it on our car and give you a review on them?

There low quality D2.

Not bad, but REALLY hard ! Not perfect for driving in no-flat street / touge !

We use 'em on our F20C AE86 !

I guess I was misleading with my OP.

I wanted to know if anyone here already took the plunge and had these and what they honestly thought of them.

I could only find people with Civics and Integras that were using these coilovers.

"envee" suggested them to me on my post, I would start there. I've never heard of them before but the word is that they are a "fly by night" company.

My experience with D2, Ksport, and other chinese coilovers have all been the same. They all work decent for a while, no real dampening adjustability, and then they blow.

How much is this coilover anyways? Anything over $1000, there are plenty of other higher quality (by name and reputation) coilovers to pick from.

SuzukaBlueAP2

I have them available to me for $900 shipped.

envee

I had them for over a year on my last car and never had a problem. I payed much less than that for them, but even for 900 I asy they are worth it. Ksport is not a fly by night company, they have been around for over 10 years. Most people that give their opinions talk out of their *** because they prefer one brand over another. Not saying anyone of you but the above post about HEARING they were fly by night proves my point. I have had H&R, Tein, and Ksport over the years now and I haven't felt much of a difference in any of them. I had zero problems with mine in the 14 months I had them and I would buy them again if I wanted to go the coilover route again. Ksport also offers many spring rate options for any of their coilovers, you can go 3kg over or under without effecting the warranty. Not many companies I'm aware of do that. So, IMO, if you want to get them do so. You won't regret it, they have great customer service if you do have a problem and they will do anything they can to make you satisfied.

I like them

ek_kid

i have them and i really like them.

Mr. Projekt

Specs-wise, I see no difference from "normal" K-sports, vs. "Pro" set.

According to KSport's website, the Pro damper system is basically the lowest line their is.

They have:

Kontrol Pro Damper System
GTPro Damper System
Rally Spec GR
Rally Spec AR
Version RR
Silde Control Drift

For the S, the front spring rates are listed as 10/560 and the rear 7/392 (for the Kontrol Pro Dampers).

I'm going to keep shopping but I think I might end up with a set of these.

papa5murf

I'm still a bit skeptical because they weren't able to spell Control correctly. LOL

The valving is different. Like I said they make them to order anyway, you can change the spring rate + or - 3.

LOL, touche, touche.

iam7head

and then we got a mystery about ksport in our hands

perhaps some owners will enlighten us?

They have been international for 10 years.

As for the link, that could be one set. They didn't even post the numbers so if could be a very small difference, plus they are 36 way adjustable. I never felt a difference in mine between left and right cornering. If you want to bitch about them so much then don't buy them.

They've been around for 4 years or so. I was one of the first buyers (for my 240SX, not the s2k).

They're pretty much crap in terms of coilovers. Well, that's not a good assessment. The machining quality is actually quite good. The damping is where this thing fails though. Low speed damping is almost non-existant, but then again, the same is with most the JDM **** out there....

To put it simply, they're fine if you're on a track and you can actually take advantage of some of the high speed damping. But on the street, they're annoying as hell. If you want your ride slammed, then yeah, it's a cheap way to go. But it's by no means a proper street coilover.

Yea four years...

what do u guys think about this? i'm no good at suspension jargon

I had them on my GSR for over a year and had it SLAMMED. Handled great, rode pretty good, and had no issues with them.

People have to realize = Any car that handles exceptionally well and sits low is going to ride like ****. I don't care if you have $400 ebay coilovers or $2000 Tein's. When you slam a car on stiff springs and lower the center of gravity, you decrease the shock travel, and when you are on some sporty low-profile tires that don't absorb any bumps, its going to ride like **** compared to stock.

It all just depends on what you can tolerate.

Back to the topic, has anyone else tried these on an S2000? I think I'm about to pull the trigger on a set...

Black S2K

not a big fan I got my tein flex for that price I'm not saying that they r amazing or even better than decent but I would much rather have the flex's over the ksport. If I was u I would save up another 5bills and get something of better quality. Look into stance they have done wonders in the drift scene and the fact that the set they offer for the S have low spring rates mirrors good dampening. Alot of the low quality coilovers out there substitute a good valved proper damper with super high spring rates to give u the illusion of good handeling when in reality ur ride is stiff/bouncy as ****
