I was looking at that kit for my car, and it seems halfway decent. What concerns me is that I hear this is the same company that makes D2 coilovers, which are 100% show coilovers. The D2 systems only allow lowering by adjusting spring pre-load (I believe), which is awful for actual race handling.

But, the KSport systems are supposed to be a better by having pre-load and damping adjustability and a single bound/rebound adjustment.

I think I'm personally going to hold off since they are some what of an unknown, but they are certainly on my list of potential coilover systems (esp. because of the price).

 

Yeah I'm considering them for the price of course, and the fact of the camber adjustment on the front & rear which I thought was a plus.

They also say they are 36 way adjustable. I guess I could buy them and if I dont like them sell them. The look like a good kit to me, but I dont want to put crap on the Subby !

 

man, thats like ...... 36 more ways than i know how to adjust suspension.
no , wate i take it back 35... i forgot about my mad curb tuning skills.

 

I have this setup on my 05 WRX. I've had it for about 6k miles now with zero problems. I have the 7k/5k setup and love it.

Got mine from www.jlbmotorsports.com (call for best price) They have a couple WRX setups in stock right now.

Here's a review I posted about mine. https://www.i-club.com/forums/suspension-handling-brakes-195/ksport-coilover-suspension-hankook-tire-review-104247/

 

Does anyone know how these compare with the Helix DNA coilovers? These are the two I'm trying to decide between and price wise run the same. The spring rates are the same, but Ksport offers 36 ways to dampen to 16 by Helix.

I'm just trying to figure out which is better for a daily driver and some occassional track time. Both coilovers have gotten good reviews and Helix is suppose to even put out an inverted design.

 

Yes Ksport and D2 are both manufactured in the same plat in Taiwan. They are the exact same crap only in different colors. D2 introduced the Ksport brand to be sold in Japan.

I'd go for the Helix.

 

Keep in mind the damping adjustability on the ksport does not click. They told me the reason for this is because they have their electronice control unit (like EDFC) in development and it will be compatible will current setups.

Also, I just got word from the shop I bought mine from that they also have an inverted design due out soon along with a "rally" setup. Not sure what the rally one involves but I probably wouldn't need it anyway since I don't rally lol.
