Ksport Coilovers

[adidasdudegst]

Hey I was wondering if anybody has ksport coilovers, and what you think of them? I was looking into getting some, because my struts are tiring out. I've heard Ksport are some of the best, and just wanted some more opinions. From the videos on youtube, they look very nice, and very adjustable...

Many people here have them, myself included. For the price, and adjustability, I love them. Sure, there are better setups out there, but again, price, you cannot beat. I like the smaller diameter/lack of a "spring perch" on these, so I am allowed to run wider rims/fatter 255 tires. With that said, keep lubricating the pillow mounts/camber plates on the top. And, I generally never recommend a full coilover to anyone driving in the winter, as salt/sand could be detrimental to these guys.

K-Sports are cheap; you get what you pay for. Yes they allow your car to be lowered, yes they'll handle better than stock, but don't hope for a smooth ride and don't expect them to last much more than a year or two. For a street car its pretty tough to beat an aftermarket shock/spring combo. Swifty is right about winter driving; the salt/sand will damage them in quick order.

I see... Maybe I will look into Tein or Megan Racing coilovers. I'm guessing my searching didn't help me find that do to the way I spelled Ksport. Thanks.

Just an FYI, after installing a set of the megAn coilovers on an evo, they are identical to Ksports.

I have had my Ksports for over a year or two, and haven't had issues with them. I've never driven it in the winter, and I lubricate the pillow ball mount/camber plate every oil change.

Megans are identical to K-Sports (same factory, different colors). Tein Basics aren't much better either, same with Apexi N1 EXV, Buddy Clubs, and pretty much all other sub-$1500 coilovers. To get a quality set of coilovers thats actually tuned and and designed with actual R&D you're looking at spending over $2000.

I have a set of Robispec Street KW's waiting to be installed. They were over $2k and are 2-way adjustable. To step up to 3 or 4 way gets into eye-popping prices if you are shopping KW or JRZ.

I have had my ksports for a year and a half with no problems and I couldn't be happier with them

Koni yellows, Ground Control perches, RRE upper bearing plates, Hypercoil springs. I've read the Konis and Bilsteins have the best shocks for the money.
