Never heard of them. However if you're going to spend a grand why go on something you can't get reviews on? Go ahead and get something people have used and reviewed on here. Or save another 200 and get the tein ss coilovers.

Im pretty sure the ground controls for 399 will just be ****ty coilover sleeves. They ride terrible IMO. Save more and get complete Coilovers

i would say try them out if they were cheaper. $999 highly unlikely these are better than other coilovers for the same price.

I have D2s. K-sport and D2 coilovers are essentially the same as far as the damper design, spring rate and mounting setup.

NEX GTs are good coilovers as well but they are not rebuildable, so if you blow one you may run into some issues getting a replacement.

I think coilover sleeves would work well with the right strut, but in my opinion it defeats the purpose of having a coilover (100% matched damper/spring combination).

Honestly if they really do have shock dynos for these coilovers and the shock dynos are legit that speaks a lot to the quality of these coilovers. Speak to one of their sales reps and ask them about warranties and if you recieve shock dynos with the product (every shock dynos differently - just like engine).

i've used ground control (custom rates) and koni yellows before and it was one of the best setups i've had.

gc springs are eibachs.
