Default K-Sports Coilovers

Is this a good price for K-Sports?

http://www.erzperformance.com/produc...ontrol-116.htm


When you press add to cart it comes to 850shipped.
Ive never bought off this site though.

Anyone have these on their car?
I heard that they drop pretty low,
low enough to tuck?

Before I bought my Tein CS, I was looking into the K-Sport coilovers. They had barely began producing them for the GS. Since there were no reviews, I was a bit reluctant to pull the trigger. I opted not to and instead went with a trusted brand. I guess I'm glad I did. The extra money i wosrth it to me for the Teins.

May I add that you might consider into getting D2 Racing coilovers. Before anyone say that they are the same as K-sport, they are not. I've taken them both apart to examine the shock construction. D2's run Koni internals while K-sport just use some off shelf stuff. I've gotten the D2's suspension setup down to the perfect ride and handling.

Both of my room mates are running BC-Racing(?) BR type coilovers on their g35 and wrx. They said they are pretty happy with that brand. I don't know if this manufacturer makes a model for the GS.

K-Sports are junk. I worked at a shop that sold them, the mark up on them is high and they blow out constantly. They had almost as many sets in repair as they had sold. Stay away from them, at $850 you would be better off looking into some basic Teins or waiting for a deal to come up on some used coilovers.
