acuteperformance is infamous around these parts
By saying they aren't suitable is already discrediting my name. They WORK. If you know how to install them they are FINE.

And you did mention my name in what you wrote.

I know you can return these to ksport and charging me 200 dollars to do it is ridiculous. All I want is my money back from you and this isn't the place to seek it. I wasn't even trying to bring your name into this.


Regarding my new springs- paid 100 dollars and the shop didn't even own them. Take offs from a guy who just bought a car.

I'd disagree with that, I'm not saying BC Racing and Stance are on the same level as AST and Moton, but compared to the trash that is K-Sport, D2, Endura and Megan I'd say there's a quality difference.

You can put Stance and BC Racing on a dyno and have repeatable results and a quality part that will last, which is about as much as you can hope for in entry level coil overs.

So does BC make coilovers for us. If they did I would try them, my friend has them on his EVO X and they are aweome. Ride is great and so is handling. I am iffy to try Ksports or D2s, I would def try the BCs for the right price....

My guys loaded it to the 996TT section. It is listed wrong so they are correcting. All those companies have them actually. Not knocking the brands, just saying, from my experience, people should spend the extra for a KW or Bilstein. I advise people to GET RIDES in cars with coilovers before buying if they dont trust recommendations.

My understanding has always been that lowering springs combined with OE shocks is probably the worst thing you can do. I've tried this before and it resulted in a horrible ride (at least on an M3). I'm surprised it is being recommended here by a Porsche tuner.

Additionally, if Ksport was such a garbage product (and I don't have a set on my car), how would they get TUV approval as it is clearly stamped on their packaging? My understanding was that in order to get a stamp of approval from the TUV one had to meet fairly stringent requirements from the Germans.... Just asking......

I have a sticker machine too. TUV has nothing to do with performance of the component, only meeting safety standards.
