I have come to defend Ksport's honor... just kidding.

I have had my Ksports for just about 2 years now. They are so so, except for the dampner they have all aluminum construction which is good against rust. They are stiff but I that's because the spring rates they come with stock do not coencide with the dampner valving. I think if I had the chance to test them out with different spring kg set-ups they would be better.

I have ridden on JIC, TEIN, Apexi, Buddy Club, and HKS. I like the Apexi by far but the price of them is pretty steep.

However the K's do their job and at $745 to my door I can't complain.

Let us know how these work out for you.

http://rds.yahoo.com/_ylt=A0oG...1.phpWhen Germany's ADAC testing agency tested China's Brilliance BS6 sedan, it came back with a 1-star rating. A person crashing this car at 40MPH would likely not survive.
when you have an country that bring you 0 and if you're lucky, 1 crash star rating, you have an serious quality/design issue on hand.

I will pay double for my japanese ****, I will buy greddy over megan, bride over obx... etc. Thank you very much.

some stuff it takes no talent, no skill to **** up, that's probably the only thing you can buy from china

china's problem lies in the foundation of business model. Any large transaction isn't based on the quality of the work done/parts supplied but rather, how much the person in charge receive "benefits".

Unless chinese start stepping it up like korean or even japanese, this is the image that china will continue to project: cheap and crappy.

In addition, did you know that personal insults really fortifies one's argument, or lack of there of?

Please explain to me HOW the two differs.

So, you'd rely on a Chinese made computer, but not coilovers?You'd wear a mexican made shirt, but not motor?

You have no case in this arguement, you're just another one of those idiots that can't distinguish the difference between quality and country of origin.

Automotively speaking, hardly any of the DOMESTIC automobile's parts are produced in USA. Oh the irony!

I'm sure the dailydriver you're riding around, parts were made in Mexico, China, and other foreign countries.

Outsourcing is what kills this economy, but makes everything more affordable for the citizens.

I'll say this again,You have NO voice in this arguement.

*btw, Japanese Elitist? lol, you amaze me.. Why don't you just go live in Japan? Why stay here and use American-made goods when you're so attached to "JDM" goods? lolol!

Just letting you know, not all Chinese make ****ty parts, same goes for Japanese or Koreans. Not all of them make excellent parts.

Trust me on this, I'm a Korean myself and I know Koreans. Mostly half-assed. Same goes for the generation today. Half-assed.

Okay, I will stop half-jokingly going about this thread.

First, I will retract my statement calling this coilover Chinese made **** – the original poster was so happy with the coilover that I thought I could troll him a little with the fact that it is probably made in Chinese/Taiwan. In additional, I did not elaborate enough as to why the two differs with other factors involved. If you’re offended by this then I’m sorry, I will take this statement back as well.

Yeah, you’re right; we’re surrounded by Chinese/Taiwanese exports. But let me tell ya something, most of the daily stuff you see is either has a tolerance or is cheap enough that no one would care.

How’s computer parts different from coilovers? Electrical components has a tolerance on error. When you buy a power supply sometimes you see “within 5% of 12v”, that’s tolerance. This is also why you can’t get 2 identical computers in the same environment to yield exact performance because there is tolerance involved, in additional to other factors as well.

Clothing, if it rips, defective from factory, it can be tossed away. A motor has little tolerance, tell me what happens if there is an overbore on the cylinder wall or clearance of the valves? I hope you see where I am going here.

Of course country of origin doesn’t mean quality, if you really think that most people don’t know this then I’m sorry my friend but you’re too serious about casual posts on this forum.

The problem here is not stereotype nor lack of common sense. Again I will place fault on some products from some nations. Chinese, for example cuts corner everywhere. We seen what happened to those Chinese made cars, we juts recently witnessed what happened to those Mattel toys that were made in china. When entire nation’s business model is built upon bribery and that business goals are to plagiarize, there is a serious problem. You end up with companies like obx, ssautochrome, clevo(notebooks) to **** things up for most of us. If it was not regulation set by auto manufacturers or companies with intent to stay around like Asus, you will end up with the same pile of **** I described earlier.

Ksport?, megan? Max? I’m sorry, I’m not ready to risk the rest of my car to these companies. I don’t want something to break all of a sudden when the car is in motion. But you know what? I can probably count on companies like Apexi or Cusco to have the QC/regulation in place to lower my risk despite higher price tag, whether the final product is made in mexico, japan, or china.

If you think that makes me Japanese elitist then guess then so be it. But let me tell ya something here: I think that if Chinese would step up in their game, then it wouldn’t have to be this way, hm? Oh I have stance coilovers by the way, I don’t know where it is made, I bought it because I’m lead to believe that they are quality for its price.

I am Chinese, I seen the good and the bad. Of course there are lazy and half assed people regardless of origin. You know what else I see? I see Korean made goods coming into American markets, Samgung electronics, LG oem lcds/phones or even automobile. These are precisional items, a small mistake will result in obvious defect. I think you Korean are trying to step it up as a whole nation. Let’s go back to look at Chinese made stuff. What electronics? Fake pen drives? Lcds full of dead pixels? Cars that kills the driver in 40mph crash? No thanks.

Again I will regurgitate what I been trying to say: It is not that things made in china are bad. It is the lack of desire to make good products that makes it bad.

^those aren't close up pic.I have the RUCA, I'm not completely satisfied with the LOOKS of the welding, but for the price i paid, i wont *****.

It looks pretty fkin beefy though.

BTW. Loveless, I hardly would believe you got Stance b/c you thought you were getting a good deal vs price.Stance is the new hype. Like Tein was nearly 5 years ago. and KTS was 2 years ago.

You even said it yourself.You think you're getting good value for the money. I'm sure others think of that as well.I bought PBM coils to find out for myself how well they are, compared to what the hype is.

BTW... Are Stance parts Quote »QC/regulation [/quote] regulated?
