Default KSport Coilovers

Anyone get the KSport Coilovers yet? I just ordered them and I was wondering how they are. Here is a link to the pic.

Last I heard about this brand was that they are a knock off of JIC FLTA2. And they had a height issue in the rear and it actually messed things up. They were looking for a test car to try and see what the problem was and try and correct it. They run like 600 bucks, but once again you pay for what you get.

K-Sports are made by the same people who make D2 coilovers which are pretty popular in the DTM market and I've seen some Subarus with them as well. They carry Honda applications but I also can't seem to find any info.

Ummm in that link I see nothing saying K-Sport went out of business. It just mentions a shop called Trix Motorsports went bankrupt (so my guess is that they were selling K-sport)

If I missed something, please quote it from there.

Do you have pics of your products that you could post?

Some people say it is the same as D2, is this true?

pics are on our website for the coilovers, they are not the same, you can look at the top of the shock and see, similar yes. dont know if spring rates are the same or not.

*not trying to be rude about the pics, i just dont want it to look like im trying to advertise or anything, just answering questions, thanks.

seems like they like throwing you off. it's a complaint over how the rear will not lower anything past 1.5". D2's are also 36 way dampening. if these are made in taiwan, which most coilovers are, then they could be just copies of the D2's under a different company.
