Anyone have feedback on these KBee coilovers? I just installed a set on my car and am still unsure if it performs better then stock shocks w/Espelirs. I still have to do a corner/corner balance so I can't really say too much about them yet.

Is this another off brand such as Ksport, D2, etc?

No these aren't the rebranded BC(Bor-Chuann) coilovers made in Taiwan (Megan, Apexi, HKS, etc...). Its a Tokyo based company which have been making shocks for quite some time. The nissan (S14) crowd seem to give positive reviews so I though I'd give it a try.

I'm going to try and get a corner balance tommorow if possible. BTW, these come with 12k/12k and 16 settings (comp & rebound combined).

What are your overall impressions? I have never even heard of the company before, but they look pretty nice.

bump for reviews.

so your going from remote reservoir shocks (OEM)
to non-remote reservoir shocks....

Doesn't sound like a good idea to me.

IMHO aftermarket products (even if they're cheap) should be better performing than the stuff the car came w/---
these just look cosmetic---

This should be better than stock, First off you can see its gas suspension unlike oil filled so thats a plus, more adjustability. less likely to leak since the pressurized seal are better. unless u get in an accidnet


99H do you have any pics of it on your car

And also how much do they go for

To me smaller reservoirs = less volume = more heat = less dampening w/ hard driving...

Like I said -- to ME -- if a critical piece (like dampeners) doesn't perform at least as well as OEM, then I look elsewhere.

Maybe these dampens do perform as-well-or-better, I don't know ---
But reducing reservoir size is a flag IMO.
