Ksport coilovers

Anyone heard anything good or bad about the Ksport coilovers for the s13s on ebay?
They're only 800 bucks and i'm thinking about buying them. Anyone let me know if they are any good

only problem with mine were that the brake line thing didn't work...it's like a clip on or something...and that my rims had too much offset and rubbed on them. either way they work fine.

mine were some of the first to come over and have yet to have any problems. yet the spring rates that i got are extremely too ruff for the road so i tend not to drive too much on them out there unless heading to a track event.

i heard thru the grapevine that there was a bad batch that came out which is the reason for bad reviews...but could be just a rumor?

also heard that the poor quality control was in their earlier days, but this could be a rumor also...

hmmm...
