Please stay far, far away fromthe K-sport coilovers. They are having MAJOR quality issues. Friend of mine in the NELOC forum SMITTY0881, who has an ES, has them on his car and has had to have them rebuilt/repaired twice in under 6 months and he doesn't drive the car hard at all. Has been in contact with them several times, and everytime they tell him they are gonna replace them, since they are still under warranty, and the only thing they send him is replacement parts to get them rebuilt. Lots of adjustability on them, however they def will not last long at all.

well that kind of kills it

anyone have any luck with the D2 coilovers? they should be of better quality since they've been making parts for years in china

but then again, iirc they dont make coilovers for you 1st gen guys

Most common failure for them is the seals. They blow easily and it is a PITA to replace them. Have to completely disassemble the entire coilover assemble and then take them apart to replace. Lost of people are having this complaint about them. While they do offer a wide array of adjustability, the coilovers themselves have a habit of pre-mature failure.
