Dr. Apex Posted May 5, 2007 Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 I've heard of K sport, don't know anything about them though. G4?? Maybe just a brand I've never heard of that makes good stuff for volvo's. We just got the KW's on the S2000 and love them. Their great quality, tons of adjustment, great on the track but they don't beat you to death on the street. We talked to KW and they seem to have a good easily accessible service dept. too. If all those coilovers are aorund the same price def. go with the KW's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone else told me the D2's were really nice, and i know all about the KW's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verse Posted May 5, 2007 Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 K-sports are good coilovers, haven't heard anything of the rest of the companies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farkas Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 D2's are basically just rebadged greddy coilovers.. I suggest them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoe Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 K Sport is a less expensive name that seems to be putting out a good product. I was just talking to someone about them. They had said a guy running Tien Flex's on his 240 for 2 years switched the K Sports to test them and lovers them. I believe the guy owes a shop or races the car. Anyway, for the $, why not?

6 Speed S4 Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 K sports, I've heard nothing but good things about them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AudiOn19s Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 Personally I'd stay away from the k-sports. I bought their units for the 996 as on paper it was exactly what I wanted but in the end there were too many problems that could not be resolved. They never even made it all the way onto the car (fitment issues) before I took everything apart and sent them back which was a whole other battle in itself. I'm also mystified in the comments I've read about them being great at the track. This was one of the selling points for me but I had one of my struts tested on a shock dyno and did not like what I saw out of this unit.

Mallard Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 I agree with Andy. I've never heard a bad thing about KW's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokey Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 KW is the most reputable name of the companies you've supplied, and very likely will have the most support/aftermarket should you need it. K-sport FTL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
