k sport coilovers

[watwas]

hey guys looking to purchase coilovers for my euro. came across a set of k-sport coilovers on fire sport for $1300.
Has any used these coilovers or heard of them before?
Spring rate at front is 12/672 and rear 7/392. Think they are from the US.

Also looking at tein cs or buddy clubs does anyone know which traders sell these?

[Oscar B]

go to touge tune and jdmyard
they are the place i got my parts from

you can try traders: jdmyard, jdmconcept, musecret.
otherwise try shop (tax will be additional for $1k+): perfectrun, nengun *nengun has a waiting period*

[tony1234]

You may be better off going for a well known brand such as Tein.Traders here have them at a reasonable price.

Yes, JDMYard a good but they're not the only place in the world that sell car parts.


OP: Tein = crap unless you wanna spend over 2000 bucks.

i've been running K-sports in my del sol for almost 2 years now. not a single problem with them at all. good bang for buck, and great features (dual height adjust - allowing preload for corner balancing, damper adjust etc)

No noises/rattles from them either. I've been in cars with teins, and the suspension rattles like crazy. (not due to high spring rate)

[Crapdaz]

due to pillowball mounts.

[JasonGilholme]

due to pillowball mounts.

pillow ball mounts are meant to soften the connection between the chassis and the strut. not make it harsher/loud/metal on metal sound.

K-sports don't have pillow ball mounts either. (at least on my ones)

[Crapdaz]

meant to, but actually makes it louder.

[JasonGilholme]

even more reason to go k-sports then lol

[hisoka]

k sports is good~way better then SS tien imo. note k sport has pillowball mounts as extra i think. also theres couple of different models

[TEMPTN]

I had K sport on my euro didnt have any problem at all and my car was deck on the floor

Hmmm,i'd better take back what i said above.K sport sound quite good.

[Crapdaz]

i think k sport would be equivalent to H&R soft comfort springs.

[beeza]

You can order K-sports through a fella called Paul.His email - stsaus@bigpond.com

He's a real cheap,he's on boostcruising :)

[.QD]

Is'nt ksport along with d2, bc racing and a few others made by one company? Just rebadged?

[taz_435]

Yea thats correct
i was looking to buy them from the same dude
but realised i can get tein SS for same price
Any1 had any experiences with D2

[Crapdaz]

i don't think d2 has too many support sources.
hence why alot of people have bought teins.

[aaronng]

There was a thread discussing D2. Search for "d2*"

[beeza]

As far as I know the d2's and g4's are the same because a member on here has them but I dont know about the other's.

[watwas]

i guess k sport coilovers don't sond too bad. might have to look into it further.

[Alexx]

If you want pillow ball mounts they can be had on the k-sports for $80 a corner. but they are not as effective for the wishbone setup when compared to a mcpherson setup (quoting for civics with A arm setup, unsure about euro geometry someone correct me if they have a different setup). So they arent really required unless you really want to stiffen it up, and it will be noisier.

I have a set of k-sports on my car and have had no issues. Good bang for buck stuff.

Im pretty sure you can get them cheaper than 1300 from the guy beeza mentioned

Spring rates for euro are 12/7 i believe

[beeza]

For my Civic they are $995 delivered from Paul!

[JasonGilholme]

bastards! I paid 1600 almost 2 years ago!

[beeza]

It's always the way...

thanks man

[beeza]

Here's his new email - stsaus1@bigpond.com

They now cost $1400....from $995.

[mreuro4]

Hey all,
I just installed K-Sport on my CL9, and are having some problems with the rear rattling. Tyre shop said they are not seating properly. Excellent coilovers though. Bought them from 999 auto, and Adam is going to have a look at the setup this week. Hopefully can get rid of the rattles. Free plug for K-Sport though! ;-)
Cheers.

[JasonGilholme]

chances are your springs are not captive when they're at full travel.

To make them captive you need to wind the collars up to the bottom of the spring to hold them in place. If you want you can preload the spring slightly by screwing the collars up a little mrore to compress the spring slightly before theres any weight on it. Try to do the same adjustments to both sides to get an even effect across the width of the vehicle.

Only other things that could be rattling are if the bolts are loose or if the metal brackets that are on the brake lines are hitting the body of the coilovers.

stick your own head under there and have a look. some mech miss the most obvious things at times.

these guys are great for k sport products

[mreuro4]

Hey All,
Need your help. The workshop has preloaded the springs 10mm both F & R, however there is still a rattle. There is nothing else noticeable causing this. The workshop have stated that after installation if the coil overs were not preloaded then the shock may have bent. Is there anyway possible this could happen? Cheers.

[Tarquin]

I had k sports on my ek1 and they performed well couldnt fault them great bang for buck. Level of adjustment was great for the price.

Not much under 2k will beat them imo

And yes they are american

[markc]

Does anyone know where to buy these in Melbourne and get them installed?

The cheapest is from Paul,email him in the link above then ask one of the Melbourne boys on here to help you install them :thumbsup:

[rawr]

How low do Ksports go? And how much are they going for now?

[beeza]

I couldn't see on there Site (http://www.ksportusa.com/asp/coilovers.asp) but you could email them.

[ig3o]

i contacted paul. its going for roughly $1480 delivered for ksport coilovers.

maybe if we do a group buy it'll be abit cheaper =P

[aaronng]

Keep group buys to PM. Ozhonda does not allow group buys if you are not a trader.

Quoted the same from Phillcom Rally in Adelaide.

Hi, this noob read the tread n wishing to be joining in the GROUP buy, so pls pm me more info of how much its will be cost in average of all numbers of ppls who r interests in this? btw i live in SYD

do we actually need the PRO eg. workshop to install this? or can we just do its ourself as i've my frenz whom has knowledge in this offering me for help to install this but i kinda don't know much about this suspension thing, hence i'm quite afraid if somethings is stuff up, i'm gonna be running into tons of problems[ right now so broke, after i just bought 06 CL9 all cash =\ ]

how much does its usually cost for the installation of this suspension? also what are important things we should be aware of when putting this into our car? like camber , spring rate etc...

JUST A NOOB WHO LIKED TO BE LEARNING

[hisoka]

you can do it yourself. i did first one myself when i was 15. on a skyline~ very easy with basic tool knowledge. you will never learn if you dont try~

[ndeuro_]

I would never give my cash to randoms. I would only do it if they were a legit business with an ABN or ACN. If it was a private sale, I would get all the relevant information including the person's address!

same, post some thread of how k'sports goes in our euro, i'd been quote 1355 but still deciding if i should get buddyclub N+ instead for 1600 shipped from US, anyone here know about the import tax duty?

what if the seller put down declare its as low value items, will i still face import duty? also i'd seen on previous thread saying that any items < 1000 is tax free, is it true?

To save yourself the hassle..if dont really need coilovers then just get some konis and eibach springs for around the same price as the buddyclubs..

read the import tax thing in the lounge section of the forum.

Yeh but the BC's are adjustable. If your gonna spend the same price then might as well go the coilovers?

[oat.iphone]

Hi, lowek have u got ur coilover yet? we are waiting to hear for ur update

[Poeter]

No noises/rattles from them either. I've been in cars with teins, and the suspension rattles like crazy. (not due to high spring rate)

If it's installed properly, there's not supposed to be any rattles. I've got teins on my jazz and there is no noise.

[mofolo]

I want coilovers and i want them now!
I'll stimulate the economy with my coilover purchases.

(Although I might get them second hand, [Sorry Economy]).

[ndeuro_]

lol. i got mine =] 1250 for tein ss

[mofolo]

nice where from?

[ndeuro_]

akina. from sydney he was parting out

[jyh888]

What do you mean by rattling?? as in an object rubbing against another? I just got my buddyclubs installed and there are slight noises especially going over a bump u can hear the shock compress with a hiss sound, that i assume is normal

[Crapdaz]

Does your Jazz use pillowball mounts?
could be the reason to why your does or does not make noise.

Cause i get a few rattles from my teins.
I get the pillowball mount rattles and the shock *bop* noise.
The only way to reduce that noise is put sound rubber deadener in between when you install the strut to reduce vibration through chassis.

[tony1234]

Bilstein+Eibach=NO rattles or squeaks at all.:thumbsup:

[oat.iphone]

hey lowek, u got ur coilover yet? still waiting to hear update from u as i think of ordering one myself, just curious if this paul guy legit
