[QUOTE=boxsterz]FWIW, I found a few reviews on the web, and from what I've read D2 was rated better than K-Sport. From pictures they all looked very similar. My bet is that (Tein, D2, K-Sport all pretty much come out of Taiwan, and get rebranded, like those short shifter kits you see everywhere.

Truth is they are all made in different places. Short shifters can be made in just about any machine shop but you would need a pretty sizable operation to make adjustable coilovers. The K-Sports are made in Japan. I am not sure where all the others are made but I'll bet at least one is made in Korea or China and probably yet another in Taiwan. I think the most important thing is that they have a good spring rate and that they can be rebuilt in the US if something happens. Overseas shipping would cost huge $$$$$ for a rebuild.

One other point. The PSS9's are really great but they are soooooo expensive. I think they are geared more for professional drivers than weekend warriors like most of the ppl on this board. If you can afford 2K plus install then by all means go ahead and grab the Bilstiens but if you only occasionally do auto-x, DE's or are just looking for better handling I would considwer one of the other brands.

Just one man's opinion though.
