Having the winning formula for a racing vehicle is a very subtle principle with a myriad of factors. Power, good tires, less weight and more downforce are some of the major things that directly affect a sports vehicle. Engine power was the priority for some period of time and sports car manufacturers were at a constant struggle to increase it, handling was an inferior factor that was improved by lighter body and lower center of gravity. Once it became apparent that cars which have less power and superb handling outperformed the more powerful beasts that had horrendous handling at high road speeds, suspension jumped to the anterior of the motor racing industry. Now the precision of handling is the priority factor for deriving a winning formula on the track of any kind of motorsports.

After more than 80 years since it was first used in application, the piston damper is still at the spotlight of performance suspension industry, thousands of refinements have been performed to cut productions costs and improve performance and reliability but the fundamentals are the same. Now more often referred to as the coilover is a complex system of a piston damper located within a coil springs, the coil springs is used to absorb the up and down travel of the wheel caused by road irregularities. The damper is a piston located within an oil body that moves up and down for the purpose of dampening the oscillations of the springs, without it your car would be a four point pogo stick jumping uncontrollably up and down on each bump.

Now days the winning formula of a good coilover system is convenience, reliability and of course performance. Why do I say convenience? Every single track requires different suspension setting, and getting the right set-up is a trial-and-error process that is why coilovers should be readily adjustable, in case the set-up doesn’t work you can tune the suspension to different settings. Ksporst coilovers definitely achieve a good convenience of adjustability with their 36 level of dampening adjustments, adjustable spring perch and adjustable body and pillow-ball mounts. This allows you to fine tune your vehicle to your personal wants and needs and also the track requirements. The mount and most pieces manufactured from 6061 billet aluminum, makes Ksport coilovers lightweight( which reduced unsprung weight), durable and rust resistant. The steel body of the damper is electroplated with zinc to resist rust and other elements. The dampening of each piston is precisely matched with the spring’s oscillations for maximum performance and ride quality. Whether you perform in rally, drift or circuit, Ksports has specifically designed and tuned coilovers for each of these motorposrts offering the innovative monotube design.
