Let us know how you like them.

I'm curious to find out myself.

 

i'll let you all know. it'll be a couple weeks since they are special order item through ksport.

You can always have Bilsteins rebuilt - all four for about $500. direct from Bilstein.

I'll be interested to see how you guys like the k sports for the 996tt. I'm planning to be in the market for one late july/august when I sell my 03 cobra, and seeing as though I'll be on the lower end of the financial and the age bracket I'm likely going to be buying a car with enough miles to warrant a new suspension set up and willing to do that relatively quickly. At least the 01 w/ 45k I drove felt like it needed new shocks on it.


I do have a set of K sports that have been collecting dust until I have time to install them on my Volkswagen CC (daily driver). The one thing I do know about k sports - they do go low (!!), even on volkswagen standards. I'm assuming the will be similar for the turbo..

Here is quick a pic I took of the k sports anyway. They look well built from what I could tell, but this is my first set of coilovers

If there is something you guys want to see in detail on them, just ask and I'll snap some pics before they go on

 

Height Adjustment - KSport vs Traditional (KW, HR, Bilstein)



Ring A
Ring B
Ring F
Shaft C
Shaft D

Traditional Way to Adj. Height
Loosen Ring B
Loosen Ring A
Tighten Ring B

KSport Way to Adj. Height
DO NOT TOUCH RING A or B. The spring should be snug in there NOT TIGHT.
Loosen Ring F
Wrap your hands around Shaft C and turn it clockwise to lower into Shaft D.
Tighten Ring D

So why is KSport's way better? Imagine if you did it the traditional way, (1) you're altering the spring travel which causes the bounce and (2) it also causes the ping ping noise when you turn. Now keep in mind, not everyone experiences the sounds if they don't lower the car enough.

Make sense?

Is this a pic of the 996tt ksport? I heard that the ksport for 996 is not set up this way because of the way it slides into our wheel carrier. Therefore, it is adjusted the same as pss9/10.

In my research I could not find anyone that could verify the 996 install.
