Hey guys, as you know ive been having problems with one of my Ksport rear coilovers. Been getting a horrible noise and they have been messed with numerous times without any progress. Well, after talking to Ksport they figured they would make new upper mounts although im not sure if this is whats causing my problem. I do think it will help with the rear being so low because you have to add a LOT of preload which makes the ride harsh. I know other members had problems with their rear coilovers as well. Anyways here is a pic of the new rear mounts, before the stock ones just had to be used. These will be installed within the next few weeks along with hotshot headers.

 

Glude: U putting the headers in urself?

 

Nah, im paying a friend who installed the coilovers. I dont have the tools or time to do it. Plus ive heard its a ***** and im not even gonna attempt it.

 

which ksport coilover system are you using? basic or GT Pro?

 

Not really sure, I bought them used from a member here. Im not really sure if they offer more than one kind for the 6th gen.

 

Yeah I just have "K-Sports" as far as I know....

Glude thanks that might solve my clunk issue in the rear...did they just send you the new upper mounts or did you have to pay for them?
In other words, what should I do?

 

I talked to ksportsupport on AIM and told him about my problem. He said he would look into it and eventually decided they needed to make rear upper mounts. I didnt have to pay for them but it took forever for them to make them. My clunking is horrible, its definately NOT normal. I can understand a clunk here and there but mine does it constantly. Is yours that bad?

 

Yup that bad, even over road reflectors it clunks...
I'll have to contact them. Who should I talk to, as I don't "AIM"
J

 

Not really sure, maybe check their site and email them and go from there.

 

so my ksport fronts are blown... horrible knocking noise on small bumps...

hopefully theres a warranty?

 

well ksport does...just lik teins will soon be too...

i think of it as lik stage one and stage two coilovers.

stage one:
ksport kontrol dampers: avail
teins basic dampers: avail

stage two:
ksport gt pro dampers: avail
teins ss-p: still in development...bastards hurry up!!! i wanna see already

i don't kno thats how i see it as. correct me if i'm wrong. buh it makes a lil sense rah?

 

I really doubt your fronts would be blown. Ksport has like a 1% failure rate and it seems a little odd that BOTH your front struts are blown. Have you checked the Ksport thread? Your problem could be caused by many things. Theres a lot of little tips and stuff on what to do when installing them so you dont get any noises.
