With all due respect I think folks need to get over where stuff is made...isnt K-Sport/D2/BC/Megan made in taiwan and most likely came from the same factory?

D2 is made in China
That's not true. I'm on D2's with custom spring rates, 14kg./F, 12kg./R, which I ordered directly from their factory in Taiwan. I got them on my X almost a year and a half and have about 3000km. (1864 miles) with them. I can say that I'm very satisfied with their function on it. I also got them on my race car Honda Civic which I uses for a hill climb races for more than 3 years without any problems, absolutely no leaks, cracks, or something, with one word PERFECT choice for the money. If they are enough strong to hold bumps, unpredictable holes, fast cornering curves, they will be more than OK for a daily driver. I will buy them again for sure.

The Bor-Chuann Suspension Company makes the kits for D2, Megan, Apexi and Fortune Auto, as well as many shocks and struts for OEM manufacturers. The difference is that a few years ago, BC was not pleased with the quality issues in the Megans, D2 and Apexi lines, so they started offering their own "BC Racing" brand built in their factory to their quality and performance specifications. Moreover, since 2006-07, BC has revised and updated their kits based on feedback from actual customers. The BR kit sold today contains all of these updates and is universally acclaimed for its reliability and durability. BC advised me they have not had a single warranty claim for the NSX kit. This, along with other research allayed my fears regarding quality. Country of origin has little to do with quality these days, as everything is outsourced by everyone. Instead, you have to do your homework on the company itself.
Agreed. In this global economy it's difficult to take the easy route like we did in the past and make overarching assumptions based on where a product is made. We have to do our homework. The level of quality can be determined by doing company specific research.Country of origin has little to do with quality these days, as everything is outsourced by everyone.

Your car is so clean. Nice coilovers.
For the track i'd rather keep the HKS than the other choices. However, both the BC and the KW3 should ride better on the street (or get big sway bars with these last two and/or stiffer springs). However, at the end of the day a lot of it is preference. Real good drivers can be super fast on the stock setup.If I want to track my Nsx every other week should I consider get a set of BC coilovers or save some money kw v3?? I'm currently running HKS hypermax II ( not very cheap but idk of they are better than a set of kw or not )
Thank you!
No rain, no mud, no nothing except sun here... :smile:

HKS coilovers are fine, people put too much emphasis into coilovers when it comes down to set-up and the driver.
an acquaintance of mine tore up the competition with $1000 APEXi coilovers. he ran Time Attack FWD Unlimited class... took 2nd place in his class and took the fastest NA record with a CRX at buttonwillow. he says people hate on him all the time because their coilovers cost more than his whole car.
im not saying more expensive coilovers aren't better, but you can do a lot with cheap coilovers... assuming they aren't improperly valved junk that falls apart on you.

what do you guys think about the Ksport Pro Circuit dampers?? they also have an inverted monotube set ups. Is better have a separate oil reservoir on your coilovers??
here is the link.
