They are the exact same as K Sport here in the US. We can get them, but I don't trust the valving in them. They tend to blow out more easily unless the rebound is set extremely high and the damper is set really stiff.

You can go a hair lower than me right now but I still like to see your car slammed all the way.

My cousin's are Kiwi's BTW, GREAT place. whereabouts do you live?

[iOnic]

i'm in auckland
havn't had any trouble with mine so far and i've had it at several track days (both grip and drift) and its also my daily driver so see's a hell of a lot of new zealand's **** roads

[Slidealliance]

Drifting is what tends to kill them

[iOnic]

yeah it's a bit hit and miss with them. I've seen some sets spit the dummy after a few laps at a drift event while other identical sets go to event after event without so much as an issue.

to be honest though, drifting puts unusual stresses on suspension components - sooner or later something's gonna break. it's sort of a waiting game

Drifting ONLY puts unusual stress on the suspension when you don't upgrade OTHER PARTS with the coilovers, or understeer A LOT

Go look at an FC with KTS coilovers, or a car with BIOT coils on it = No broken ****

No, its a 91 thats been vastly improved

I spent $6000 on the car itself,
~$4500 on the paint/body parts, only $1000 of that was actually paintwork, those wheels weren't cheap! neither were the headlights or the wing! All the other lights were brand new from the dealer, and everything is authentic OEM except the rev6 kit.
~$4000 on engine parts including all the gaskets and whatnot.
~$700 on the 93+ brake upgrade, stainless lines, axxis pads, etc..
The rest of the $$ is in other parts I have laying around that I didn't use or haven't used yet.


Here is a before pic; Note the sweet 2-tone white.
