Ksport Coilovers

Ksport USA sells coilovers as five street-to-track tiers plus several discipline-specific builds, all monotube and built per vehicle application rather than one universal kit. Kontrol Pro is the entry damping-adjustable line, with 36-way combined compression/rebound adjustment, 6061-T6 aluminum mounts and collars, and a zinc-plated steel shock body. Kontrol Sport uses roughly 30% stiffer valving than Kontrol Pro for a firmer street/intermediate-track feel, and GT Pro adds an inverted front strut aimed at managing heat over sustained track sessions.

Above those sit Kontrol Plus 2-Way (separate compression and rebound adjustment through a remote reservoir) and Circuit Pro 3-Way (independent high-speed compression, low-speed compression, and rebound), both built for dedicated track tuning rather than daily driving. Ksport also builds discipline-specific kits: Slide Kontrol for drift, Asphalt Rally Spec and Gravel Rally Spec for pavement/gravel rally, and Version RR and Version DR for road-race and drag competition. See other coilover brands if none of these match your use case.

Pricing and exact spring rates are set per vehicle application; Ksport's own catalog is the source for current numbers on your car, not the figures above.

Kontrol Pro suits owners who want one damping-adjustable kit for a daily-driven car that also sees occasional track days, without the cost or plumbing of a remote-reservoir setup. Vehicles like the Honda Civic and Nissan 350Z get Kontrol Pro kits built to their factory mounting points, with spring rates set per chassis rather than a single rate across every application.

If you only want a visible drop with no damping adjustment, compare Kontrol Pro against lowering springs first; if you need remote-reservoir tuning for repeated track abuse, look at Kontrol Plus 2-Way or Circuit Pro 3-Way instead.

Kontrol Pro's 36-way damping and 12-month warranty put it in a similar street/track bracket as BC Racing's mid-tier kits, while Megan Racing and Godspeed tend to compete closer to entry-level pricing. All of these brands build application-specific kits around similarly sourced components, so warranty length, spring-rate accuracy for your exact chassis, and current owner feedback for that application matter more than the headline spec sheet.

Forum threads on Ksport are mixed: some owners report years of trouble-free use across multiple cars, others point to early-generation shock durability concerns and note that several budget coilover brands share similar overseas-made parts. Read recent threads for your specific chassis before buying any of these brands.

Kontrol Pro installs like a standard coilover kit: the monotube strut and spring assembly replaces the factory strut, and ride height is set at the lower mount so it does not change spring preload or shock travel. The 36-way damping adjuster and height-adjustment collar are both accessible without removing the strut from the car, and Ksport includes the spanner wrenches needed for the lower mount.

Budget for a four-wheel alignment after install, since camber changes with ride height on most applications. For the general process and shop labor cost, see our coilover installation and cost guide; for setting ride height and preload once the kit is on the car, see how to adjust coilovers.
