I've been looking into suspension for quite some time now, and have figured out alot from what I used to know. And at this point I'm pretty sure the Ksports are the best choice from a money vs. quality stand point.

But I need to figure out whether I want to go with the regular pro coilovers, or go one step further and their asphault rally tuned coliovers:

Regular: http://www.ultrarev.com/product.php?productid=31247
Asphault Rally: http://www.ultrarev.com/product.php?productid=31657

So the main listed differences are that the rally's have are extended stroke, heavy duty internals, and simultaneous compression and rebound adjustment.

I'm just wondering what kind of difference this would make, being new to suspension, whether its even worth it for the extra 200$. I live in Canada so a coilover that holds up better over winter might be nice, I'm wondering if you guys could help me out.

PS - I was originally going to go with Tein SuperStreets, but from what I've heard you buy the name. What would I be gaining/losing from going with Ksports over Tein?

Thank to anyone who can help, as I want to purchase coilovers soon.

 

You wouldn't want the rally ones unless you (drum roll please) rally.
Edited: The others are available (including GT Pros, rally series and race series) but you don't need them as they are meant for competition, not driving around on the street.

 

well I was planning on potentially autocrossing my car next year, so if I did, would it be worth it?

 

No, rally suspension is not to be used on a daily driver, it's only meant to be used for rallying. Race suspension is for race cars, not street driven cars.

 

Arlight, so save myself the 200$ bucks and just get the regular ksport pros for 780. Sounds good, at least I can save some money, but in comparison to Tein, am I losing out on anything?

 

No, IMO with Teins you are paying for the name, they don't even have camber plates.

 

I just installed my Ksport pro controls. I have my car sitting very low... front bumper is 5 1/2 " off the ground. Dampning is set at half way and spring rate isnt to bad. It is a very stiff ride. The feel very nice be be prepared for a bumpy ride. haha

 

Pics?

 

expect them either in the next 10 mins or tomorrow afternoon.

 

How did you install the new mounts in the rear? I was told I needed the mounts themselves (obviously), the spring isolator and two bushings. I know where the isolator and the mount goes but I can't figure out the bushings. I currently have all the stuff sitting by my coilovers ready to go on. Any ideas?

 

the rears were a pain in the ***. But we did get them. You use the new nut and washer to go on the top of the strut mount. You reuse the two bushings from the stock mount. Its pancaked in, washer, metal cylinder (bushing off stock strut slides over thie cylinder). slide the strut into mount, stock bushing, then finish with new washer, nut. If that made sense. I did not remove the plate that the strut slips into. just the top nut.

 

i had some control pro and they were great but i recently upgraded to HKS hypermax2.

 

Perfect, exactly what I needed to know. Bryce FTW.

 

Cool. Any other questions feel free to ask. I spent a good amount of time on them today. ran into a few problems. most dum issue was me putting a hole in my CV joint boot. blah! lol

Uploading pics now. new thread will be in show and shine.

 

ksports are 780$??
