Whoa whoa don't discount KSport so quickly. 
They are a great coilover system. I think a lot of people are afraid of them because of the price. There have been bad reviews in the past ~3 yrs ago, but they have since changed their entire shock assembly.
I have plenty of reviews from very happy customers.

KW coilovers are offered with a limited lifetime warranty and all rebuilds can be performed at KW's North American facility in California.
KSports if I remember correctly did not have a good program in case there was an issue like the damper problems. Do they have locations in the US where they rebuild coilovers now?

Yes they have a HQ in Arizona. The warranty is 18 months covering pillowmounts, shocks, etc, but WILL NOT cover things like rusted springs or negligence.
What's also nice about the KSports is that they come with camber plates, endlinks, and height adjustment doesn't affect spring rate or travel because they don't use helper springs (except for some applications like the 996 fronts)

I know that KSports HQ is in Gilbert, AZ, but are they produced all in-house now? Or are they built overseas?

No the coilovers are still built overseas, Taiwan to be exact. Most re-builds can be done in house (AZ) if they have the necessary parts. If they don't, they'll need to come from Taiwan.
I believe this is the same policy as KW. Don't get me wrong, KWs are a great product. They've marketed well and built a mighty fine product. What I like about KSports are (1) the price ~$1000 shipped, (2) camber plates + endlinks, and (3) no helper springs for most of their applications.
Not using helper springs is a big deal IMHO because adjust height won't affect spring rate or travel. Shrug just more options for people. I sell both KW, KSport, JIC/CROSS, & Bilstein so I have no reason to be bias here, like I said, just more options.

Hi,
I have a set of JIC Cross Competition Coilovers with 8kg Front/12kg Rear springs. They have 15 way settings. I had all of the shocks rebuilt from JIC this year so they're pretty much new. New it's $3520 so I'll take best offers.

Let me know if you're interested.
Thanks,
Paul
