Hey well i am going go with a full coilover on my 1997 civic, but i have narrowed it down to either ksport or tien, and a lot of my friends have said that tien is overrated and that i should get ksport, they are about the same price so I just need some ideas on people that might have had either one please help me out it would be great thanks, This does belong on the suspension forum, but i never get any help there, i don't know why.

 

Tein is far from overrated. I've run there coilover systems on all my cars. I've also installed many of there systems. You can't go wrong with Tein.

 

I believe the tien basic is the same price as the k sport.
Im running the ksport setup on my car and hear problems of the rear shock blowing and how crappy they are, but i never had a problem with it on my car. I also autocross with it and DD. its pretty stiff but wish i had custom spring rate as im hopefully getting more competitive in autoX.

 

which Tein system are you thinking about getting?

i hear lots of bad things about Ksports products.

 

I had ksports on my coupe and I loved them. I'd like to know where you find the teins for the same price as the ksports though.

 

you cant go wrong with tein have installed in many cars and customers always come back happy but imo i have apex-i n1 fully adjustable
TEIN just has a better rep in my book

 

i love my k-sports

PM DRFlickner on honda-tech...$575 shipped and A+ customer service, had mine in no time.

 

i was just wondering cause you mentioned that you wanted to find Tein's that had the same price as Ksports. you will NOT find any Tein's in the $575 budget.

but, im sure you probably already knew that.

 

mine were $560 shipped, that's why I wanted to know where you could find teins for that. LoL didn't think you could.

 

i'm running ksports on my car now and i love them. no problems with leaks yet had them for about 6+ months. but i like they way that they handle alot

 

ksport on ebay from good reliable people for the basic setup is 675 while a a performace shop near my way sells tien basic for 675 as well, but the shop is telling me that ksport is made in china while tien is jap, so i am changing my mind on ksport, not to say that they are bad, but my history with china made products has always been horrible thanks for all the comments guys, think i will go with ither the basic tien or the ss ones which are 875, but have adjustable damper, not sure yet.
