Default K-sport coilovers???

Is anyone running K-sport coilovers here? I spoke with someone at ksport about making coilovers for the 3gs awd and they are interested in making some. what are peoples first hand opinions of them and what application (vehicle and coilover model) were you running??

it may be kinda hard to get them made now since the BCR coils came out. pretty much all the AWD guys jumped on those already.

yea but how many people do you need to get that price? i doubt they would be willing to make 1 set and sell it cheaper than 1250. dont get me wrong, i would love to see more options out for the AWD 3GS but i think everyone with the AWD already jumped on the BCRs.

See what kind of info you can get from them. Id be interested in see what they have to say/offer.

well I would be lending my car for prototype, so very low price, less than half of what I have seen for the bcr. but selling price my guess would be at or just under 1000. There was no mention of how many vehicles would be needed, that is just if I want them to make coilovers for my car. Price for kits after that would obviously be much higher. but still less than the bcr. I send them a reply asking how long they would want my car and what kind of specs. so I'll let you know when I hear from them on that. I was more so looking for first hand opinions with Ksport coilovers than interest in the product.

i understand, i may be a little off subject but i was just throwing that out there because they may want X amount of people before they even do a prototype. sorry if it was jacking your thread.

I would stay FAR away from Ksport. My buddy has a S2k and he tried out the Ksports for that car just to give them a try. He HATED them. They rode like garbage and constantly made noise. He called them and they couldnt fix the problem, he ended up getting rid of them pretty quickly. I rode in the car and it felt bumpy and would porpoise a lot.

I am not sure what he has on there now, either KW's or something else. I'll have to ask him.

Go read some threads on the honda forums or nissan forums. Ksport has a history of cheap stuff. I would stick with what works. BC Racing seems the way to go.

bc racing is supposed to be along the same lines of ksport/megan. how long ago was that with ur buddies s2k? im not tracking my car, so im not going to be beating on them. i have heard they were really bad in the past but have gotten much better.
