They seem a little soft in the rear. I'd stay away from them imo.

Hello
I also from Taiwan.
KIDO RACING products was very nice and more popular in the worldwide.
Their company have a race team.
I also used their coilovers and BBK.
Feel nice.
And they have their factory.
Ksprot was the same factory with D2 and XYZ...etc.

Yeah, but as with any coilover I can go onto the Ground Control Website and order whatever spring rates I want.

They do look a LOT like Megan/KSport/D2/BC Racing (they all come out of the same factory).

I did find this:

Excellent research!!

I also liked seing that they are ISO 9001:2000 certified for quality control.

A set for the Yaris Link

Jackson · 06-04-2010, 04:17 AM

I check with KIDO.
Their rear spring rate can make to 4.5KG

"as with any coilover", I'm going to disagree with.

Sounds like you can only do that to 4.5k with these.
Silk Road also has a finite number of choices when ordering their coilovers. And so on.

$888 + $225 = $1113. That's more than Megan, Tein and Tanabe (in price only, not talking about quality or features).

I've talked to Kido before.

If we got a bunch of them, we could probably offer them at around $900, just guessing. Are you guys interested enough to do a group buy, at least 5 sets?

Bluevitz-rs · 06-04-2010, 10:14 AM

You're right. But with most that have a 2.25" or 2.5" coil you can.

Edit:
Spring rate conversion

3KG/mm = 168lbs/in
4.5KG/mm = 251lbs/in
5KG/mm = 280lbs/in
6KG/mm = 335lbs/in

Formlula: 1kg = 2.2lbs ~ 1in = 25.4mm. so 1KG/mm = 2.2 x 25.4 = 55.8lbs/in

cali yaris · 06-04-2010, 12:47 PM

I'm glad that formula gets posted from time to time -- I can never remember it.

Dang, 3 day return policy.

cali yaris · 06-04-2010, 02:14 PM

^ right - to China, LOL

Bluevitz-rs · 06-04-2010, 11:31 PM

It would be nice if we could buy them locally, be it in the USA or Canada.
