KTS Coilovers v. Largus Spec-S Coilovers

Been looking into getting new coilovers, does anyone have any experience with either of these?

Never even heard of these coilovers before for a 4th gen. Go with BC Racing, you don't regret it.

Where do you guys find these random taiwanese brand coilovers? best china coilovers #1: BCs 2: D2/Ksport 3: Megan. JIC has questionable quality lots of broken coilover stories, and Tein is better than the rest for most street applications but they have to be AUTHENTIC TEINS(IE Tein Basics real and cost $900, Tein Basis fake but cost $600 and there is a reason for that.) if you do not know how to tell the difference do not buy tiens.

Aren't they all made in the same factory? I know the plant that makes the Ksport coilovers sells them under many different names.

If im not wrong ksport and D2 are same factory, Megan and BC are also same factory. BC are supposedly higher quality than megan. Very few problems have been reported with them out the box. But where they really hit their stride is a lot of companies for example 2J racing down in atlanta will custom valve the dampers on a set of BCs for you, and Swift springs will sell you custom spring rates for pretty cheap. You do this plus a corner balance it pretty much blows out any other options we have available including the vaunted Koni&ground control with stillen camber plates setup. But we are talking extreme performance at this point. For just im doing bolt ons probably only going to do 1 or 2 drag racing events or autoX get a set of Teins. If your main goal is to go stupidly low D2 and Ksport is your brand. If you do have serious track work in mind then look at something such as BCs or the koni/GC on stillen camber plates.

Well KTS was reputable a while ago with the 240 crowd and z32's but I know Largus is new.

I've never heard of either. Would avoid both.
