As far as I've been told these things are just re-badged Apex'i coils. Not sure if this is true? Still awaiting answer about hats though

i saw these coilovers online and they say they fit the turbo mirage, 36 way dampening and they sound perfect for the autocross setup i want 2 do. lookin for a review on these bad boys or any true coilover system someone has used so far |

I have heard very good things about the quality of Ksports in the 3/S world. I didnt know they made them for Mirages but I would like to find out. |

http://www.ksportusa.com/products/intks ... tions.html Looks like only 4G and 5G. No 3G application listed. |

Eclipse (AWD) 89-94 CMT051-KP $1150 9/504 7/392 Incl. Front Pillow Ball Mount & Rear Top Mount ^^^^ That will fit a 3G, just gotta swap the Mirage's rear lower strut bushings into the new coilovers. My buddy has a set on his S14 240SX. They handle great but they creak. This is apparently a common issue with them (he's researched the hell out of the problem). |

Are the upper strut mounts the same for a 4g or 5g Mirage as a 3g? Cause if they are couldn't you just get the AWD 1g DSM kit, and ask for the newer Mirage hats so that it'll all bolt right up? |

How does the quality compare to TEINs? |

Doubt it, they are made by a Korean company if I'm not mistaken. *Edit* Here's a thread on a DSM board about them. They may in fact be the same manufacturer for both. Also mentioned in the thread is how stiff/harsh they ride. If they are too stiff in a 3200lb car I probably wouldnt want the same ones in a 2400lb car. http://www.dsmtalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=167474 |

Ksports are identical to D2's. |

From what I heard Ksports and D2 is the same Korean company. Also they do not last very long. |

A lot of 3S (3000GT and Stealth) owners have been having problems with K-sports. The biggest problem is leaking struts, This has happened to about 1/3 of the 3S owners on 3Si.org that have tried them. The second problemis that some people's Ksports have come out of adjustment height wise. At least 2 3S owners have has the struts hit the hood and dent it. The best compliment to the K-sports is they use a spring rate that is better for the street. The Tein and JIC aviailble for a 3S are brutally still track only springs. I had a set of TEIN HA's on my Stealth and I took them off after a month because the ride so stiff the car wasn't fun to drive anymore. |

There are a couple of people with 4g and 5g mirages that have had problems with them also. I have not heard any bad things about D2, But alot about ksport. Kinda odd if they are the same. |

i cant say how they are on csm, or dsm but i have had k sport coilovers on my mr2 and i do not recommend them to anyone. Ive blown two coilovers and bent the tension bars and i don't auto x or drive my mr2 agressively. They were mounted correctly if you think it was a bad install. good price but you do get what you pay for. The warranty is okay dealing with customer service if you have a good shop that distrubutes them. Also there is two spring rate to choose from STIFF or STIFF  why buy a coilver with all the works that will break down when you can get a set of entry level coilovers from teins for a couple hundred more thats my 2 cents |
