does anybody have any experience with these on there itr.

 

You get what you pay for.
K-sport/omni/blackwerks/ebay coilovers are junk.

What experience do you want? How often these will blow? The crappy ride?

 

I had them on my old 92 hatch. They rode decently, but started to rust pretty quickly inside of the part of the strut where the adjuster **** goes.

 

Totally agree. Adding to that same list is D2, Attack, T1R, Megan, Bor Chuan (BC) etc. Same ****, different color.

Check out the current issue of Option magazine (has Tokyo auto salon 2011 coverage) and you will see an ad for ksport "Taiwan big brake kit" on one of the pages. You get what you pay for in this case.

 

That's what I thought. **** coilovers thanks

 

Golden rule when it comes to suspension: You get what you pay for. There is just too much going on inside/outside of a shock to be able to sell a full coilover kit for $750 and have it be a quality unit.

 

+1

In my experience with K-Sport (on an s2000) they were the same run of the mill common coilover that had way too much spring for the strut to keep up with. Nothing special. I have had about 6 or 7 coilover setups between my S2000 and ITR and I def say look to the Germans for the quality suspension. Billstien, H&R, Koni, ect. The best bang for your buck in terms of quality and performance in the ~$1,000 price range is a good Koni Yellow/Ground Control setup, IMO.

 

not recommended on a R!

 

well put

 

my friend has an itr with D2 which is just ksport painted purple..and they ride like crap...another had ksport on an ep3 and he went to buddy club and it was a night and day difference...ksports ride like ebay coilovers...the car would bottom out on hard turns..now with the bc car handles 10x better even on soft all the way...for rhe price of ksport get skunk2 they ride way better...

 

lol @ skunk2. Another colossal waste of money.

I'd rather run 50K mile OEM ITR suspension than new skunk2/ksport/d2/megan/whatever

And FWIW, BuddyClub quality has slipped considerably in the past few years. The Racing Spec is the only way to go if you choose Buddy Club. n+ is not recommended.

 

You pay for what you get......

 

you do get what you pay for....... but i have been running ksport Kontrol Pro on my teg for almost 3 years now and no problems at all

 

should i suggest PIC coilovers now or later...?

 

Right. And what do you have to compare these wonderful gems to? Have you had significant time with Koni Yellows and Ground Controls? What about Moton or Penske shocks? Heck, what about something like a Mugen lowdown?

Using your logic, OEM suspension is the best as it'll go for 80K miles with "no problems at all".

Having no other benchmark, you might think McDonalds hamburgers are the best hamburgers ever if you've never tried anything else.

 

Just because it has no problems (ex: leaking), doesn't mean it's as good as a $2k setup that doesn't leak either. You might want to elaborate on "no problems"

 

Thanks for all your insight. I have been debating on what setup to get and ever time I make a decisions somebody tells me different. I want to go with the Koni/ground control. but I really don't feel like spending $1000 dollars on something that wont see any track time just the occasional mountain run and DD around town. I was also thinking about the Buddy club n+ but I heard the quality went down in the past few years.

 

where does the junior spec fall into?
