As i was looking at the picture i was think they were the exact same as k sport.

Aren't K sports 800$ too? Then you could just go with the more popular company for the same price and the k sports have 32-way adjustment

My Ksports were $745 shipped through Intensepower.com's deal. Tell them you want the deal they had on NICO. I did alot of research on them before I bought. There was a problem with the oil seal around the shaft going bad when they first came out. If you google them, that's most of the info you're going to hear, check the dates, they are pretty old. It has been fixed.

They say 32 way, but what that means is there are 4 full turns from soft to hard. There are no clicks, so that's just and estimation. I'm assuming from the pictures the actual damper is the same as the Ksport, so check how many complete turns there are before buying.

If you do buy either of these, prepare to hear alot of ' So you decided on Ksports...... Huh. Well my freind's cousin's brother heard they are crap. Why didn't you just spent double on x brand? '

I don't really care. I have peeling paint on my trunk lid and cheap tires on my stock rims. I am obviously not in the upper tax bracket.

I've heard lots of people say they're K Sports with a different sticker but the owners say they aren't. I've seen them on alot of hondas so they have to be at least good.

D2's are not the same as k-sport.. personally I think hey are much better and not a lot more either... if not the same price.

I know a few people running D2's on their daily driven and drift cars here in Houston... solid build and no problems either.

I rode in a car with D2's. I like my Ksports better, but they weren't that bad. I'd make sure that everything is not steal, which will rust. The mounts on Ksports are billet aluminum, which will never corrode.

^yeah, mounts are aluminum.threaded part is steel or something, and it does rust, so becareful around where the mount are.i think all coilovers have steel or something for the threaded portion (threaded shock body?)

anyhow.. i had ksports..it felt great for awhile, but it blew out in less than ~3-4 months of dailydriving on middle dampening level.my rears were blown, as well as my front pass. side.
