Lets see some dyno plots!

I'm happy and a little surprised BC actually posted their plots.

I would be hesitant to spend money on no-name coilovers. Your car may end up handling worse than it did stock.

Plotting varying piston speeds of the damper against the resulting compression and rebound forces. Sometimes displacement vs. the forces.

Gives you an idea of how the shock will handle, ride, what the range of adjustment is, whether it's too soft or too stiff, how the shock reacts to "fast" bumps (when the piston moves quickly, not really the car, such as over bumpy roads) and "slow" bumps (normal body roll, when the piston moves slowly).

An example in this thread:
https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=329701

Not necessarily an example of a GREAT dyno graph, but an example.


Other things to look at that are important are suspension travel, the travel available in the spring before it coil binds, construction quality/durability, and support from the manufacturer, among other things. Those are the first things I look at.

When I had a Celica, these actually got good reviews from people who had it on theirs. But then again, I was driving a Celica...

Ksport is not really a "no name brand". They have been on the market for quit some time with no problems. I cant say that their product compairs to JIC or Cusco, but cusco and JIC's prices cannot compair to Ksport's!

Besides Ksport is doing pretty well in the drift and race circuit.

K-Sport is BIG in the Honda/Acura scene, and I have heard nothing but GREAT reviews...

For the price, I don't think you can go wrong...

I installed a set on my friend's Integra... utter junk. Bouncing all over the place in 2 months. Same with D2 Racing - blown after 1 year of driving on my friend's Civic.
