They look real nice, how much $? Where are they made? > click

 

[SmoothCustomer]

According to my calculations, roughly $1150. Too rich for my blood.

 

[BlitzVR4]

Your calculations are a little off. They were 1225 shipped from Taiwan. Only took about a week to get them in though.

1225 shipped for quality coilovers seem reasonable to me...and it came in a week? Wow /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worthy.gif

Lets hope the quality is not like Ksports /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bawling.gif

What;s wrong with Ksports? I like mine. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

Off the top of my head, their tendency to blow out in freezing temperatures is one thing that's wrong with them.

 

[alansupra94]

Google search will bring up a lot of problems with Ksports.

 

[Street Surgeon]

They look like any other pair of cheapy chinese/taiwan knockoff coilovers, hopefully they're better than the KSports though.

I guess since I dont drive my car in freezing temperatures I wouldn't know. Mine have been great so far.

 

[evo8ya]

I drove mine through 12"+ a couple months back and through the single digit temps.... No problems at all. It's like a sewing circle when it comes guya downing the k-sports.

I sell this coilovers to alot of the 350z, G35 and Lexus. These guys love these coilover kits. I plan on getting these for my GVR4. They are a really high quality.

Doesn't it say right in the instructions not to use them in below freezing temps though? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif I mean, that's great yours are still going strong, but that would put me off a bit knowing even the manufacturer warns about running them in the cold.

 

[Scientist]

Based on K-Sports official press release when they finally Opened an office in the US...the blown ones are related to the WRONG type of coilovers being released in the US. Those coming officially from K-Sport USA use different parts supposedly

Ya know, I never really read the instructions fully till now. Nowhere does it say anything about operation temps /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

Some members reported that there was a sticker/decal or rag on theirs that warned against cold weather.

Whatever it is, I know of at least one local member who has a blown K-Sport right now.

I'm still waiting for the funds to roll in for a set of AMRs. It's odd that I don't have $1600 just sitting around. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

Well its not blown. But it did leak a little oil out when I had to drive the car in 20deg weather. I have been checking it every time I drive the car and the are no signs of oil any more. Every thing is dry as a bone. So I don't know what the deal was

 

[H05TYL]

I've got no idea what 20ºF is in C, though i'm guessing pretty damn cold?

Most likely the rubber seal becomes too hard/inflexible in really cold temperatures to do it's job - so you get a slight leakage. Now that it's warmer it's more pliable and thus doesn't leak anymore.
