K-Sport Pro Damper ($884.00)

[hhp8008]

While my endless search for a good price on AGX shocks continues lol. I stumbled upon probably one of the most reasonably priced coilover system for only $884.00 (not including shipping) http://www.ultrarev.com/product.php?productid=63863&cat=344&page=1.... brand new that is lol


This may or may not help some of you on the dilemma of choosing a full coilover for a fair price :001:


Financially, I'm set on buying KYB AGX shocks ($428 cheapest I found) with eibach springs ($217). But compared to the K-Sports it's only a matter of saving an extra $239.00....And the $150 to $200 for install & alignment I can't forget that lol. Regardless this is still an amazing find that I'm considering for a suspension upgrade.

Bruh save your money and get coilover, you won't regret it.

[SPD_FRK]

Dont dink around with springs and shocks. Those coilovers are a great choice and not a bad price either. I bought a set of GT Pro's for mine and the install is a piece of cake so you could easily do it yourself and save money there too

[nycking23]

when you add them to your cart, they are also giving a ~60 discount

[03-Galant-ES]

You can find someone on here to install them for you too then 60 dollar alignment its same price as springs basically then.

[OMEGA PHX]

Do it you wont regret, and for the install I bet you can do it, maybe with the lowering springs install tutorial for reference, you just need to replace the whole strut/shock spring assembly (correct me if im wrong).

[qnz]

its easier to install coilovers than it is to install spring + struts since you wont have to dis-assemble anything. that said, for the sake of my gf's back, I would say springs provide the more comfortable ride.

Ditto...you don't have to compress springs either.

[hhp8008]

Man that sure was fast :109: lol I have read & looked over all of your comments twice. And am defiantly considering all of your preferences on both set-up's.

My ride is a daily driver, and the AGX/spring set-up is kinda where I'm leaning more toward. But I'll see how long I can wait to save up. I remember someone told me, "good things happen to those who wait" so that may be enough to hold me over :P idk we'll see LoL.

Regardless of which one I choose, I wanted to thank remarque, SPD_FRK, nycking23, 03-Galant-ES, OMEGA PHX, qnz, and krow for all of your fast responses to making a more informed decision.

I would go with the coilovers for sure, my first setup was agx's and megans and now i have the megan coilovers and im loving them. Save up a lil more and pick those up. ;)

[aznlverboy]

i have the same setup. i went from kyb agx with teins to these. full coilover setup is way better. like everyone said, go with these and dont waste your time with springs and shocks.
**the only negative i have to this is: for the fronts, there isnt a place to attach the brake line bracket, so i had to carefully ziptie them close enough so you would have some play when you turn**

you should do rear disc conversion while your at it, its easy too.

[hhp8008]

Thanks WhiteGalant for your response, from your experience you do make a good point might as well save up for full coilovers. If you don't mind me asking, but about how long did the AGX/spring set-up last for you?

aznlverboy what kind of rear disc conversion are you referring to? Is it from a 3g or Evo?

[WhiteGalant]

I had my agx setup from summer of 08 up until this winter and they were still holding up great. Same good ride, and they handled very well, I just love the adjustability of the coilovers.

He is referring to the V6 Galant/Eclipse/Sonata brakes. The I4s came with rear drums not sure if you have I4 or not, he assumed you did.

I have teins and gr2s on my car with front upper strut tower bar and I love the handling. For a daily I would say it is firm enough, but I would prefer to have coilovers.

Thats almost 2 years and it was still holding up thats pretty good.

I feel ya, the benefits of fully adjustable coilovers is defiantly a plus.

Thanks for the quick answer 03-Galant-ES:spin:. Oh I have a V6, so he assumed I had a I4 :110: to tell you the truth I didn't even know I4's came with drums lol. Well learned something new

Thats actually a popular set-up, and it gives it that level look with teins which is slick.

[blue8g]

i have tein/gr2's that i'll be getting rid of this spring.......

Oh no I'm good bro, I'm actually still in the process of saving up for AGX/spring set-up or K-sport coilovers. But thanks if that was an offer :001:

[hhp8008]

Same thing (so it appears to me) but from another website saving $79.00 from the previous website I posted.

Btw, they DO carry K-Sports too, just need to look under "3G Mitsubishi Eclipse" to find them.

But also contact Justin on here his username is: ImportCarPartsPlus

See if he can set up a discount, but pretty sure we get a discounted price over what is shown, but don't quote me on that. Ask Justin.

[hhp8008]

Sweet thanks man, I'm connecting Justin to see what discount code be can acquire for the 3G Eclipse.

Thanks for your help.

I'm dying to switch to coils.. I have GR2's and Eibachs.. Not complaining, I just want to be lower and have a stiffer ride.

[Yoshio]

K-Sport is maybe the best choice for you. I also own a set aóf them, but remember that the price in germany is - due to the tüv regulations and the needed certification - high as 1145€ ( ~1600US$) for our rides. So you are on the better end.

x2 the wide range of adjustability is defiantly a plus.

I agree, theres always good reviews from K-sport & generally a solid company.

Yeah $1,600 is like buying top of the line full coilovers here. Ouch thats sux about the prices over there in Germany. Learned something new.
