i wouldnt! driven a few 200\'s with the k sport coilovers and it was just bad! the coilovers are crap really are...

would look at the driftworks coilovers or the HSD coilovers driftworks also sell...

http://www.driftworks.com/catalog/products/driftworks-cs2-coilovers.html

around the same price i think...

cant really comment on the brakes i just despise k sport products on the whole...

Unless they\'ve changed them a lot in the last year, the coilovers are fcuking terrible, avoid.

I heard Massey Ferguson rejected the damping circuit as being sub par.

The new K Sports stuff is really really good, and a few of the Time Attack boys use their brakes and coilovers. The first batches they made werent great at all, but the new stuff is top notch

Coilovers, ive heard nothing but bad, unless something has magically changed.
Brakes, well, people did run them on Time Attack cars, but almost all, if not all, havent now. Maybe their obligation due to the special deal they got on em has passed now so they are back to running whats best? I dont know.

Taiwan IIRC. Or is that the BC\'s they sell? Or both? I forget.
 
Pretty sure its both, go to a trade show like Automechanica in Frankfurt, youl be amazed the amount of "UK" products you recognise. I got a bollocking off security a few times and eventually thrown out as there a scrict no camera policy there due to the above reason.
 
Being from the far east etc dont make it ....e, being ....e makes it ....e.

ive always wondered how good their brakes where, always contemplated getting them on my FD but never got round to it, part of the reason i was going for them was because of the price and also i seen all the time attack cars where using them at the time so assumed they would be pretty good.  So who makes the best brakes for a FD then????

Yup, easy deflection of the truth doing that.
 
Youd be amazed where a lot of things are made, APS (airpowersystems), Eagle, and loads more much bigger names than K-Sport, all certainly dont come from the places they have you think!
 
Hell, on the flipside of that, fair few Jap tuning parts, especially internals and transmissions, are UK made rather than Japanese, so...
