From what I have heard .... NO! Not the best quality, and the life expectancy is pretty short ;) If you can find a second hand set of Tein, TRD, Bilstein, etc, you would be better off than buying a new set of K-Sport. That is as long as the second hand ones are in good condition :)

you get what you pay for with these. made in china i think. a japanese made set will be way beter but cost $$$... be carefull of secondhand shocks too, you get what you pay for with them aswell.

Apparently of the cheap coilovers these fare ok.

Rumour has it that Greddy coilovers are also rebranded BC coilovers, yet I havent seen any proof...

only talking from experience here, never tried HSD - but have had GAB,JIC, K-Sport, and BC....and out of them all my Teins are the best by a long shot.

From my experince's will Silvia's-Ksport = Sh*t,I've seen a few bent and snapped ksports.

BC's are actually rated pretty well and they seem to take a hammering and no reports of any major failures.

It all comes down to your budget and what ya gunna use ya car for. The more aggressive you plan to drive ya car the more you should look to spend on suspension or if it's just for road/light track BC's should be pretty good.

Only to find that your car sags after a year?

Why are tiens overrated? because everyone talks about them? Maybe that's because they're good quality suspension....

You don't hear anyone talking about HSD now do you?
