Default URG FULL COILOVER KIT same as (KTELLER) OMI coilover kit?

Just what the topic states. It also seems like they carry the same adj coilover springs as well.

My question is are they the same manufacturer with different brand names stamped on them?
UGR seems like a good deal compared to KTELLER's full coilover kit if infact they are the same manufacturer.

I am waiting for a response from Undergroundracing for detailed specs about their system and warranty coverage.

Here's a pic on undergroundracing's full coilover kit at $599

here's kteller's at $649
click here to go directly to kteller coilover kti site
(sorry for the small pic but kteller will not let me use their picture link)



[edit: i am adding this image from KTELLER's WEBSITE]

[edit: again Kteller refuses to let others post link of pictures of their products off their site]

You gotta love the first sentence of the website:

You've reached UGR, buy something.

Read the description:
<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">Underground Racing offers the same full coilover kit, acquired through manufacturer overstock, offered by several well known Japanese and American aftermarket performance brands. Vehicles can be raised or lowered 4", from two different positions, with no effect on spring preload or stroke length. These coilovers feature adjustable height and body, large diameter shafts, and a mono tube design for added control. Taking advantage of a larger piston, the stroke length was shortened offering greater efficiency. Based on years of racing experience, the rebound and compression settings have been adjusted to match specific applications. These coilovers possess unmatched street drivability and handling with the applied spring and damper rates. Each kit come complete with hard anodized threaded coilover sleeves, forged spring perches, CNC wound SAE 9254 racing springs, and billet upper mounts.</TD></TR></TABLE>

with all the performance parts flooding in from overseas....i would bet that if it looks the same it probably is the same....the crazy thing is the quality on alot of these new parts is pretty good....i wonder how name brand companies are going to be able to compete against all these companies with low overhead

You would be wrong, though. Its hard to judge the real quality of a coilover from its exterior appearance, or how it would perform. Reviews, opinions, dyno graphs, and knowledge of the product are good ways to determine whether or not a coilover is worth considering, IMO.

Ouch, that hurts.... I feel your pain (and mine).

No worries though, I'm sure you'll be satisfied with your new purchase.

Keep us in mind if you're looking for camber kits, lower control arms, t-shirts, or some engine tuning components.

Id beat $100 its not the same thing part for part, fluid for fluid, spring for spring, etc... id be more then glad to beat that~

Perhaps URG send Ryan one of 'theirs' and let him dyno and compare to the Omnipower Usa Coilover.

they may look the same, i am sure there are many things that were short cutted on.

i have question? how can you use the same 88-00, when the 88 uses different collars, and the 89-91 require different valving and dampers then the eg/dc???
