I have had these K-sports now for a year and they are not the best, but for the money and just on the street use they worked well enough. Then I went to change my pads and I noticed that it looks like oil is leaking on them!?! Any of you guys seen this before? Both fronts look the same so.......

 

Yep it looks like its time to send them out for a rebuild.













Wrong part of the forum also.

 

those are toast

 

Hmmm annyone know a place in Houston that rebuilds these?

 

They are not rebuildable. You have to buy a new core. I have a new one for sale if your interested. That one in your pic is history.

There done, how low are you ???

 

The ride height on the D2's are independant of the piston stroke so no matter what your ride height the piston stroke is always the same. So ride height is not a factor in blowing the seals.

 

Not everyone knows how to adjust them properly, and could be a huge factor

 

Correct for appliaction's that are not a true coilover in the rear. In the here and now of this thread however, both D2's and Ksports are true coilover setups in the rear and unless you change springs to something much softer your not going to be able to take out preload enough to the point of causing stoke issues.

 

Sorry to hear about your dead coliovers. Did the black zip tie come with the package or did you have to supply your own???

 

LOL I believe the Zip tie was supplied by the company that did the install

K-Sport says they will replace the coilovers under warranty.... now if I could only find the darn receipt!

Thanks for chiming in guys!!
