Anyone run them? Just want to know if their good quality and how they are on track i.e. like autocrosses. thanks.

 

I wouldn't do it. I'd go with something affordable and proven like the Stance suspension. I had a friend run these on his S13 and they went out quickly. not much servicing benefits here in the states either.

Remember, cheaper isn't always better.

Where you getting them? SPL Parts?

thanks for the info. yeah stance was the alternative to the kts. i was acutally looking at the GR+'s . how well do the stance GR+'s hold up and i cant seem to find a spring rate on them. >.<

 

Ugh,

both are chinese coilovers of the exact same specifications and will cost about the same. anyone who tells you theres more than that is trying to push it to you.

Stance MAY have a shorter rear shock body than the KTS but besides the color and shape of the perches that will be the end of the differences.

Touge Factory and SPL are both good companys and will make it right if theres any failure, If you buy from SPL however you'll get a one year warranty.

I'll push the KTS from SPL since it already seems like theres a stance dealer here, and the rear shock body length won't matter to any of the clowns on this forum.

I have a friend with the KTS on his FC, very predictable, stiff but still transfers nicely, ect.

 

The Stance coilovers also have a one year warranty but we have such a strong relationship with them that they are very flexible with us on their setups. You can choose different spring rates if you desire, stay within 2kg/mm of the standard rate.

They have 9kg/7kg from the factory on the FC. I can only speak from one person I know who had run KTS on their S13. He may have been an isolated incident but I know he wasn't happy with them. He was partially sponsored by SPL and I believe he ended up removing them from the vehicle. Beyond that I would definitely count on other people's experiences with them and take an average.

I haven't had any issues with my Stance coilovers and I know several Z33, G35, and EVO guys who track with them and have received great results. I will definitely have to say the same as McRussel in that the Stance is also a firm riding suspension but is very predictable and has great transient response. For all I know they can very well be internally the same. It's hard to tell with all the inexpensive coilovers coming onto the market now.

I'm not even sure of the price differences between the two at a club deal, but it's always best to lean towards something you are confident will receive timely servicability.
