Anybody Use K-Sport Rally Spec Coilovers ??

[Metal2You]

I searched and couldn't find a single thread here about K-Sport Rally Spec coilovers part number CSB09-AR.

 

Do they raise the ride height from stock? It says they're asphalt rally spec, but I bet they're better than anything else for gravel and dirt roads too.

 

I'm happy with my Megan's, and I don't plan on scratching the hell out my paint rallying on gravel, but I'm just surprised nobody has tried these out. Some folks here do rallycross, right?

I guess they come with a separate set of progressive springs for gravel applications too? Strange the K-Sport website doesn't mention that

BUMP!

 

Somebody has to have given these a try by now??

[I Like It Sideways]

I've read that the k-sports are fairly poor in terms of construction. The shaft has side-to-side play, and they tend to rust fairly quickly if submitted to salt or anything else abrasive. In one case, the collar seized to the threads, and they weren't able to adjust them anymore.

Also, the ride height will change...the collar doesn't like to stay in place apparently.

All of this came from an Impreza owner who had them on his rally car for a few events.
