Default K Sport coilovers

Is there anyone lowered on Ksport coilovers? What do you guys think about the Ksport coilovers compared to the other well known brands like Tien and Kw?

id say there decent, although i have never owned them.

They have a few race cars that are using them and i know alot of friends with EG civic's and 240sx's that swear by them.

I would give them a shot but i already have Megan Racing Track spec's and i love them, car feels awesome! More oversteer but it wont oversteer unless you want it too, in otherwords, it lets you know when its about to slide, it wont be a surprise.

From my understanding, D2, Hayame, Ksport, and Megan are all made in the same factory.

it doesnt mean a thing actually.

if you know a thing or two about industrial manufacturing, to give you a little story, i visited a injection molding plant before, they mold out military spec weapon case next to 5 dollar flash light housing.

even if they are built in the same place, you can't say they are the same because you will not know what is the material, specification, torrence, coating, material wear grade, and engineering behind it. add that on top of R&D, and engineering to it(or lack of), it means nothing even if they are build side by side.

everyone outsource and out contract now a day, it's a common industry practice.

the carb from the harvey davidson are build in japan, right next to the carb/FI of all the japanese rice rocket.(the same goes for their speedo/meters)

Oil leak (the shock was wet) and the car was bouncy on one side while going over bumps

Well I got a set of Ksports on the way, they should be in today or tomarrow. A buddy is going to help me install them on the S2k. Ill get them aligned in a couple of days after the install. Olegator, maybe you just got ahold of a bad set, Ksport warranties their coiloevers for one year and they should have replaced them for you. Anyways ill let you guys know how the install went and hopefully they are as good as others have made them out to be.

To me K sports fall inthe category of D2s, Megan, or anything similar. My buddy has them on his corolla, rides horrible.
