K-Tuned K1 _ Street Coilovers are designed to give you the best
ride quality without sacrificing any comfort or reliability. Our
goal was to design a suspension setup that is reliable for daily
driving while providing an enjoyable sporty ride. All setups
feature adjustable ride height and 12way dampening to adapt the
ride to your preference. We spent a lot of time sourcing the best
components and brought them all together with the help of a
reputable engineering company that was up for the task.
Starting with the strut, we invested a lot of time to ensure
that they are both durable and reliable. We start with a
durable heat-treated steel piston and needle valve to ensure
proper travel and linear compression ratio. The strut body is
designed to handle the heat and the life cycle it will be put
through. Each strut is filled with proprietary oil that is
designed to maintain its viscosity even under increased heat
or abuse. The oil will keep its unique properties over the
years to maintain that same ride quality. This is crucial to
the quality and longevity of the strut. Poor quality
suspension setups use cheaper oil that can become frothy, lose
its strength and degrade overtime. These inferior suspension
systems will lose their fluid movement and/or become too soft.
We finish the strut piston with longstanding, high-heat rated
double seals that are designed to take abuse without breaking
a sweat, literally. No leaking struts here. The strut is the
most important part of any suspension system. It determines
the ride quality and the overall feel. We do not just use a
stiffer spring at the suspension to compensate for a poor
quality strut; instead we made sure to start from scratch and
build a complete coilover that will differentiate itself from
the rest.
Next we pair the struts with a high-tensile strength steel
spring that is designed to last without sagging or
premature wear. Springs are tested to ensure there is no
coil bind and full range of motion. The high quality strut
and dampening allows us to use the proper spring rates
needed for each setup that will complement the adjustable
dampening rates. Each spring is mounted on adjustable
aluminum perches that can be used to adjust preload and
travel. Incorporated washer and spacers are in place to
keep the system free moving especially on McPherson style
struts.
The coilover system is finished with a combination of
powder coating, electroplating, and anodizing to give
it a great look and protect it. McPherson style struts
feature adjustable upper camber plates and pillow ball
mounts.
