I'm thinking buying a set of K Sport Kontrol Pro Damper System for my EP3 and i was wondering if anyone used these coilsovers before or know anything about it, or what do guys suggest buying coilsover?? thanks.

 

Actually I don't think anyone knows anything about that new pinnacle of suspension engineering. Go ahead and get a set, I hear they put a lot of thought into their spring rates.

 

They look pretty good, right now i have raceland coilover i don't like it. It's making noise everywhere.

 

Ya no experience with the ksports but i got my eye on them aswell, those and the D2 coilovers, seem to be the same thing lol, I too also have racelands and Iv had enough of them, yet they ride great and will give anyone the kind of drop there looking for but man they are so damn noisy as everyone that has them has stated....

 

raceland is really cheap coilovers i will not buy them again, that's why I'm doing a bit of research see which one is good.

 

Ya but at the time I got them (which was under $300) shipped brand new) my stock suspension was shot and I didnt have the money for higher end coils. They were great other then the steering noise..

 

Yea I don't know why when i go over a bump the rear end hits and when I turn a little fast the back tires rubs the fends, do you guys know what it could be?? btw I'm using 205/60/15 tires size, do you think its the tires or maybe something eles??

 

Real answer - crappy spring rates.


Do your research rather than asking questions that have been covered multiple times and you will see that GaySport and D2 are hardly an upgrade from racelands.

 

What offset wheels are you running? Sounds like stock ones, Also how low are you?

 

I'm using my stock 03 ep3 wheel and it's drop 2.5 front and back.

 

Ya thats odd. im about 2 inchs maybe slightly more with 17x7.5's 205/40/17 and no rubbing at all... You have adjusted camber?

 

yea i ordered a set of ingalls adjustable camber kit but i haven't install yet.probably i will do it next or something see what happen,

 

Still doesnt make sense as to why your hearing those noises and rubbing. You sure nothing else is goin on back there? Maybe worn out bushing or something...

 

I had Ksport Kontrol Pros on my 2nd Gen Acura Legend Sedan and they rode pretty well for a dumped car. I had about 1.5'' of thread upfront and 3'' of thread out back, adn thats how i daily drove it, i had ~2 inches of clearance under my subframe and ~3 at each jack point. I loved that you could adjust the dampning on it (Maybe ti was rebound) But tyou could improve how it rode... Not sure if im explaining it right, but for $700 shipped to my home in OK, i loved em! Out of all of my friends that are dumped, my car was hands down the smoothest. However i cant compare them to koni/gc's because ive never ridden in a car on Koni/GC...





Some pics for reference...

 

ya but our cars don't have the same suspension geometry as the older Honda's and Acura's did...

Things change and what use to be good might not be now for us!

 

Absolutly i just figured id offer my $.02/First hadn experience with the brand.

Right now with my EP on Tein S techs, it doesnt ride near as well, but im also on stock shocks as well...

 

Hey DaveSi677 what do you suggest about coilovers or should i go with shocks and springs, right now I'm on racelands they fkn sucks, gave me some suggestion.

 

Honestly, Tein SS series is probably the best damn coilovers out there. ALot of guys praise Buddy club N+ coilovers are great as well as function and forms, but really its all about what your looking for.
