K-sport Air Suspension system?

corbin09

The air suspension is track proven? How does it handle? I wonder how it would equate to in a spring rate or stiffness.

Ksport

Yea air suspension is by no means for the track you want static suspension (coilovers) for track driving.

I would recommend the Slide Kontrols for you guys they still sit low and great performance!

I have kinda turned away from Ksport over the years because of the claims of them being low quality and such. Years ago, and I mean, probably 6-7 years ago, I had a set of them and they blew out a year after I got them. I never did anything with them and sold them to a buddy of mine. He spent a couple hundred bucks and had them fixed, and uses them to this day on his Civic.

Ksport has stepped up and you can't ignore their involvement with motorsports. Their time in the industry should be a testament to their commitment to their customers and products.

I will admit that I never considered their parts for my car, but that has changed. In the end, you don't see all of the big name brands that are "quality" stepping up and supporting grassroots racing and people on the street level... do you?

Besides, I don't know how extreme you racers are out there, but chances are, you probably can't even utilize a set of $5000 to the fullest.

Just my opinion here, and to Ksport... rock on.

Ksport

We appreciate the kind words over here and yes a long time ago we did have lots of issues with out shocks and that has changed big time as you can see!

We do like to look out for the weekend racers and the grassroots guys because you are what keeps this industry fun and lively!

Again thank you for the kind words we will continue to grow and hope our fans will continue to support because we would be nothing without you!

Hey, thank you for keeping with the aftermarket parts industry. Thanks for improving your quality and working through all of the set backs; that is what it's about.

I've been involved with all types of brands, different car makes and I have seen the improvement that you guys have made in not only your parts but in your support.

What is this "slide kontrols" you speak of?

Just throwing this out there. D2 racing has an air suspension product as well. I researched them and the K-sports. As a matter a fact, there was thread here can't remember what it was, I think "D2 air suspension". Anyway, all of the kits are essentially the same. What I found was that it's more important that the installer knows what they are doing and that the manufacturer has a good customer service history. After really looking into it, I elected not to do it. One of those cases where the risk outweighs the reward.

Im guessing the customer service history is what did it for you?

I emailed them asking some questions but never got an answer.... I guess potential customers arent worth answering.

@ksport one of the questions I asked which is pretty easy to answer I hope that I was asking when I emailed was...

1) Where does the tank/compressors mount? Trunk? do yuo lose your spare?

2) How loud are the compressors and if you arent adjusting the height at just cruising how often do the compressors run or kick on?

Thanks!

They're usually pretty good about responding to emails. If you have any questions about Ksport stuff, you can always PM me or call/email us.

The tank and compressors mount where ever you want them to mount. Most people go for a trunk setup. Ksport supplies a mounting platform with the Pro and Pro Plus kits. I'm sure with some thought, you could have enough slack in your wires and lines to allow you to tilt the mounting platform backwards and be able to get to the spare. The compressors won't run at all once the tank and bags are filled to your desired pressure. Ksport uses Viair compressors, some of the best on the market, and they're pretty quiet.

There are a few people here but I (Jade) am the only person that keeps up with The370z, so if you do have any questions specific to your vehicle and you see me on the forum just send me over a PM just to make sure its not getting lost in other peoples inboxes.

We do answer all of our customers as Scott said I am on top of all emails and forums so if you dont get an answer just shoot one of us an PM and we will get ya take care of!

Most people mount their tanks in the trunk, but it can honestly be mounted just about anywhere depending on the room you have available.

Loudness is very subjective considering whats loud to you might not be loud to me (Im a DJ so I listen to everything at level 75% lol). I would consider them quiet though.

The compressors are set to come on at 165-200 PSI, they will kit on at 165PSI and then cut off at 200PSI.

What were the risk you mentioned ?????

don't know which to go with Coilovers or the Pillows ????

Ksport

The slide kontrols are our drift coilovers set up, different valving, dampening and shims set up more for track driving.

To compare to our Kontrol Pro (street coilover) regarding damping setting Kontrol pro on 75% hard is the Slide Kontrol at 25% hard.

Its a great set up for someone who plans to track drive and street drive.
