$50 less than what i paid for my Teins - but this comes with Pillow Ball Top Mount w/ adjustable camber - which Teins don't have -

haven't heard this brand before or reviews - looks nice though -

edit: just checked out https://www.phantomhp.com/estore/product_in...2c81af859a3c298

its $1,125.80 - not bad - good actually

I was intrested in these like 2 month before. Did lots of research, and it seems like lots of honda guys are using them - and aint having too much problems.. But as most of the stuff what are on market now - these are manufactured in Taiwan, and about 30% of them either having some grinding noise or 1 out of 4 shocks ussualy needs to be replaced totaly from new.. Dealer price for these is about 600$ for all 4. Me and a friend of myne where trying to get dealer license on these (same time from D2 another company witch produces the same type Coilovers, basicly they are almost totaly the same as Ksport) and i have all the pricelist for this aplication.

lol, this is like comparing 2 totaly different things. Teins ofcorse. TEIN is well known, everybody knows it, they are making really good quality stuff and etc. Ksport is another "brand" like if you are ordering somthing from Taiwan, if you are ordering lets say bout 3000 pieces - they can add ANY brand name you want (exmpl.: Gsport, Msport CSport and so on.....) and logo.... This is why if you gonna look at D2, Kspot, And lots of others Coildovers what are on the market - they are all the same - just the difference is the colors and few simple options. Even then you get the price list - you see what even Product codes are the same....
