KSport Coilovers - Another Coilover Option
 


Hey guys just wanted to drop some information about the KSport Coilovers here. A great option for coils for those on a budget.

Ksport Kontrol Pro Fully Adjustable Coilover Kits provide 36 levels of damping adjustment allow you to fine tune the ride to your handling and comfort needs. The damping adjusts compression and rebound simultaneously for ease of adjustment. Pillow ball top mounts in the front and rear on some applications allow you to maintain vehicle manufacturer suspension geometry design. The pillow ball top mounts also allow you a more direct feel for solid driver response. Where available, camber can be adjusted via the Pillow-ball Top Mounts, which means no additional “Camber Kits” are needed.

Most applications utilize an adjustable lower mount, which means you adjust height without losing suspension travel like some other coilover designs do. With the mounts and most pieces of the coilover being designed for 6061 billet aluminum the kit is lightweight, durable, and rust resistant. The steel shock body is electroplated with zinc to resist rust and the elements. The valving of each set is matched to the springs installed for unmatched ride quality and reliability.

Some real Photos of the coilovers here.

I have already posted a review of the D2 coilovers which are nearly identical to the K-Sports. You can find that topic here:

Not sure why you felt the need to post this. But it's your opinion. :respekt:

Because this place is getting flooded with all the same junk under a different name. Some of us are here to help people make their cars better and not just sell some cheap set of coilovers with pretty colors.

Ignoring quality of valving, etc, am I the only one that sees how much space that top hat takes up? It steals piston stroke like nobodies business. It looks like 1.5" below the top mount is taken up by a the spring mounting piece. a small bump will put the car into the bumpstop with this design. This car doesn't have a ton of travel even before you lower it.

pretty colors, however.
