Ksport coilovers

Dont waste your time & money on these. I just blew out my pass side front one for the second time in a month. The first time I sent them back it took over a week turn around time. They claim only 2-3 days....RIGHT.

I only put the rears on my car and blew them out. No nitrogen pressure. Shipped out first week of August and haven't heard a thing.

Had them on for 2 months now with no problems. Had some noise at first that drove me crazy, but they settled within a week and have been fine ever since.

For $825 shipped, all I care about is getting good customer service IF they blow.

Stay away from these cheap Taiwanese products.
I'm sure you have heard the term "You get what you pay for."

Yes it's true in this case - stay away...unless they just keep sending me shocks that blow.

Spend a little more money - Ohlins have a great rep and that's what I'm going for now...sometimes it's the toss of the coin - you get lucky with some and others you don't----I was one like some that had too much trouble. If two blow in less than 7 months - something isn't right.
I used a very reputable shop for the installs (no fly by night rice shop) - shocks shouldn't blow unless they are crap or paired wrong with the spring set up.

For $825 shipped, all I care about is getting good customer service WHEN they blow.

Edited for accuracy.

You are right, it's not always true. Just 98% of the time.
