has anyone tried these ksportusa.com coilovers yet????

 

...a number of components look very Megan like...

 

Most likely because it's the same shock. I'm sure Megan is not building their shocks. I was under the impression that they were just importing buying them from most likely the same company that is selling them to trhese guys.

 

A great friend of mine has these on his Nissan Maxima. He LOVES them, and they are surprisingly good build quality. I was actually looking at these for my car but didn't get around to it. If you'd like a reference, I can get you in contact with him. He knows people at KSport, since he was an early adopter.

re: Megan, they do seem to be the same spec, and I'd go with the K Sports for my car (they're 1300 list price on the KSport site)...

 

i currently have the k sport coilovers, but i ran in to a problem. the front two coilovers are rubbing against the tires and already set a grrove in the tire. i contacted ksport and told them what was happening and sent them the pics. now they're telling me that im the first customer to have this problem. so, now i have to wait to see what happens.

 

You got the "Well, your the first person I've seen with this problem....." amswer. That sucks. It never goes well after that remark.

 

If you look closely, the stock damper is recessed about where the tire might make contact...the Megans are not recessed...no contact either. A more than stock negative camber might help...dunno...

 

maybe try wheel spacers?

 

I guess Megan is an US based company with good marketing / sourcing abilities.

Never seen Megan in Asia ...

 

i have 5mm spacers, but there barely rubbin.

 

what size are your wheels and tires?

 

And, how is your car aligned? Was it aligned after lowering?

 

Alignment won't help with rubbing on the front strut. Clarify, is the rubbing on the strut body, or on the spring or spring perch? If it's rubbing on the strut then you have some backspace issues on the wheels. The PSS9s also don't come with that factory flat spot on the strut body, so I can't imaging that the Megan body is wider.

If it's rubbing on the spring or lower perch, then for some reason your spring is adjusted to low. Meb has described these Megans to me as having some extra adjustments, which may be out of whack with your setup.

 

rims are 17x7 with a 40 offset, tires are 215/40

 

Even if the camber was off?

 

The front strut stays in parallel with the wheel. When changing camber you are doing so at the top of the strut and not the hub, so no matter what the camber is, the angle between the wheel and strut will never change.

 

cool. thanks !

 

i got some pictures of it before adding the spacers.

 

eww- carnage! What drop were you running? And, how big of a spacer did you employ? Last, is it fixed?? Thanks, d00d!

 

i have the front and rear set to the lowest setting. i put 5mm spacers on it. im still waiting for ksport to call back. i spoke with them last week and they said they will send these pictures to the engineer and redesign the springs and ship it out to me. i prolly have them get me a new set of tires too. i have to carry 2 spares with me all the time just in case, but it's all good.

 

just spoke with ksport, they said it should be done sometime next week. they're going to redesign it with camber adjustments. oooohhh..... cant wait.

 

I thought that they already came with camber plates? At least they show they do in the link you gave us in your first post.

 

Anyone else have experience with these coilovers?

 

yikes. carnage is a good word for that

 

Kal, how do you like your KSport coilovers?? How much of a drop does it allow for?? Also, how is the ride compared to stock?
