Question Anyone need coilovers? I'm in negotiation with a company for a K-Sport GB...

hope this is okay with the mods, if everything is cool the company (Mod-Express) will be becoming a vendor and offering these to everyone after the GB.

anyway, ksports are some pretty sweet coils that are made in the same factory as d2. its pretty much d2 but orange, hehe.

heres some info on em, and some specs:

Ksport Kontrol Pro Fully Adjustable Coilover Kits provide the ultimate in suspension technology for your street or track car. 36 levels of dampening adjustment allow you to fine tune the ride to your handling and comfort needs. The dampening adjusts compression and rebound simultaneously for ease of adjustment. Pillow ball top mounts in the front and rear on some applications allow you to maintain vehicle manufacturer suspension geometry design. The pillow ball top mounts also allow you a more direct feel for solid driver response. Camber adjustability is included on pillow ball top mounts that allow it for the ability to adjust camber from the actual coilover, instead of a separate camber kit.

Most applications utilize an adjustable lower mount, which means you adjust height without losing suspension travel like some other coilover designs do. With the mounts and most pieces of the coilover being designed for 6061 billet aluminum the kit is lightweight, durable, and rust resistant. The steel shock body is electroplated with zinc to resist rust and the elements. The valving of each set is matched to the springs installed for unmatched ride quality and reliability.

The Ksport system uses a Monotube design in which the oil and gas are separated within the cylinder. When compared to twin tube designs the Monotube dissipates heat better, allows finer dampening adjustments, and requires more expensive design process. Aeration and cavatation are a lot less common in a Monotube design, which results in a better ride.

The Ksport Kontrol Pro Coilover kit has been designed with professional road racing in mind offering extremely high value and performance.

Key Features:

* 36-way adjustable dampening
* Made from high quality 6061 Aluminum with T6 for increased hardness
* Compression/Rebound adjustable
* Adjustable spring perch for height adjustment
* Adjustable body allowing maximum suspension travel
* Pillow Ball Top Mount w/ adjustable camber (not available for some models)
* Monotube High Pressure Design reduces oil leakage
* Electroplated body for protection from corrosion and rust
* One Year Limited Warranty

I might be able to get these to you guys for $700 picked up. I'll have to ask about shipping, should be around $50 though. these retail for 1050 on the site. I think there is a minimum of 5 people needed for this, I will have to contact my friend again for sure, but im pretty sure minimum is 5.

I'm not collecting any money or anything, just trying to start up something for you guys. i wouldnt want to violate any vendor rules for this forum.

BTW, spring rates are 13kg/7kg and includes front and rear top mounts

Thanks.

Im not saying dont do it, Just take our prices to Modexpress then negotiate lower.. If its $500 picked up, then its worth getting 5-10 pple to do it..

yeah seriously... if you guys could've gotten such great pricing, why tell us now?!

all these people were asking about coilovers and such, and u never mentioned pricing?! lol

and palayahata, the 650's, are those for the 94-97 accord? because i know people selling on h-tech for 650 and 625, but they are for civic hatches and dc2's, which are MUCH cheaper than the 94-97 accord parts.

thats the price that was quoted to me when i PM'd him. I dont know why the prices would differ that much. hes local and its picked up thats why i dont go around telling people that u can get them for the same price.. THat link was given to me by another member. SO call back ur contact at modexpress and negotiate!!

I am in the process of trying to organize a GB for Ksport Coilovers. I don't know what prices are on H-T but the Accord coilovers are more expensive than the Civic ones.

^ definitely... i was told the cheapest ksports are civics and integras.

if youa re doing a GB, i might tell modexpress to step down for now. i wouldnt want two companies doing same GBs, it will take forever!

glad to hear you do that for us excelerate
