Thread: KYB question

Ive got a set of agx's im (FINALLY) getting serious about putting on the SE. problem is, i dunno which mounts to use. I've briefly searched for tein mounts, but actually found some KYB mounts on tirerack.com for 29 each. anyone have any experience with using mounts other than new OEM for any type of KYB setup?

Call or text me when you decide. The suspension is easy to do lol.

That's the reason I'm doing this thread lol.

Do you want camber adjustment or just a stock mount? The teins, Cusco, and GC will give you camber adjustment but stock will not. GC and Cusco will give you more travel but i am not sure about the teins. ME rear mounts add travel but no adjustment.

im looking for adjustment. i didnt think about cusco or GC ( although i should have). time for more searching!

What Ebay Searching Will Do Not bad. But I'm unfamiliar with K-Sports. Anyone use or know of these?

K-sports suck when it comes to the coilovers (the Dampers).

Dont know about their pillow ball mounts. I dont see how they can mess that design up. Havent heard of people messing those up. They are a nice piece though. When we installed the K-sports for a friends B14 the fronts looked like copies of the Tein mounts. The rears were different.

^Are these the ones from the group buy on the old forum you speak of? I have a set that is BRAND NEW un-installed sitting in my bed room.......I'm debating on running them on my project car........My power goals are pretty high, and I keep hearing bad things about them..........Classicaddict straight up called them junk!

Yup. Same ones. I dont want to thread jack this thread but you can PM me or make a new thread.

feel free to jack. its more info for everyone.

Im not saying dont get them. Im just saying from my personal experience (Only one set of K-sports I have seen and installed) the sucked. My friend that has the K-sports on his B14 has already sent them for a rebuild due to a rear shock being blown after only 6,4xx miles of only daily driving (no auto x,track blah blah).

My Tein SS are approaching the 14,500 mile mark and they are perfectly fine. This is with auto x-ing the car about 14 events now. The previous B14 on which I had the Teins in got into an accident rendering it totalled. I think I showed Joekuh the picture. Once I got a new B14 I just swapped those suckers in and they are still holding up fine.

EDIT: One thing I did like about K-sports is their customer service.
