GPMoto and KSport... - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

So...nkoan or anyone else - have you been checking out these two coilover sets for the lgt? I'm starting to look into coilovers pretty seriously and the price of these two compared to twice as much for the zeal setups is drawing my attention. I could probably actually afford those KSports right now, they're only like 950 shipped! But I don't just want to jump into it because it's cheap because I don't know anything about the company and I was wondering if anyone here had used any of their products? What about GPMoto? Their coilovers are more expensive but at least they're under 1500 bucks...

Thanks in advance for any tips!

I know someone in Sac that is getting the ksport set. I almost got the set due to the price, figuring at that price, I can't go wrong, and if they were no good, I could turn around and sell them easily.

But, I really want to wait and see what they'll drive like. Other then that, the GPMoto ones look pretty good. PDX seems to swear by them, and I trust them with a lot of decisions (not related to suspension unfortunately) so they might be worth while too.

What I'm really waiting for is the Tein Flex's to finally come out. They should be comparable in price to the GPMoto ones, but I think the brand is a little more known.

FWIW, both KSport and GPMoto are just getting into the suspension game, so while their products may be good or great, they still are an unknown.

ahhh...so maybe just hang for a bit - thanks for the tip... do think you'll be able to pick up those ksports for 950 after this sales done?

I think I remember reading that it'll be a bit more. $1100 - $1200 maybe. dunno really, just guessing.
