tech9 were selling Ksport, but didnt reccomend them over what they already had for price and performance. atleast got an honest opinion there. hence i just went for king springs but when i go coilovers will go for HSD's more than likely

When/if it comes time for a rebuild I'll seriously consider HSD hr's. I've only ever heard good things.
Fulcrum is Tein - it was their Japanese brand. Their success lead them to expand the brand globally.

Little cool coilover man > boring logo.

When I had my black lib the engineers where over here for some training, took them for a spin, the comment was "I cannot comprehend how you can willingly drive this car with these coilovers"

imo fulcrum tein SS coilovers are way too soft, standard sti springs and struts felt more composed.

Tein is a great name in suspension.

Fulcrum is just Tein's Australian distibutor and has no investments in Tein Co Ltd.

Tein is a fully Japanese owned company with its manufacturing base in China (Jap engineers are based there for QC).

Tein SS for the Subaru WRX does not alow the car to go low enough. It leaves about 1.5inch gap between tyre and guard on its lowest setting. It is a pretty soft street suspension as the SS- super street implies.

However, the Tein Flex is a great product with full adjustability.
