Ksport USA is the North American distribution and dealer-support arm of Ksport, based in Mesa, Arizona. The brand is built around one idea: fully adjustable suspension across the widest possible range of platforms. Where other brands go deep on a handful of popular chassis, Ksport goes broad: Japanese, European, American, and platforms other brands simply do not cover. If your car is a harder-to-fit platform, Ksport is often the only adjustable coilover answer available.
The Kontrol Pro coilover system is what most buyers are looking for when they search for Ksport coilovers. It delivers 36-way adjustable damping, independent ride height adjustment, monotube construction, and pillowball top mounts on applicable models, in one package built for daily driving and weekend track work alike. Below is everything you need to know about how it works, what the full lineup looks like, and which fitments we carry.
Ksport Kontrol Pro: The Flagship Coilover System
The Kontrol Pro is Ksport's most popular line and the most searched Ksport coilover variant. It is built for the driver who wants the full adjustment package: ride height, damping, and camber on applicable cars, without stepping into the top tier of the market. Here is what that package actually includes.
36-Way Damping Adjustment
Each click of the Kontrol Pro damping knob moves you one step through 36 positions, adjusting compression and rebound simultaneously. A good baseline for most street setups: turn the knob to full firm, then back it off 18 clicks. That midpoint is your starting position. From there, dial softer for rough roads or comfort driving, and firmer for tighter handling response on a track or canyon run. On Kontrol Pro kits with standard non-inverted shocks, adjustments are made from the top of the coilover. On the GT Pro and certain rally applications with inverted shocks, the adjustment knob is at the bottom.
Independent Ride Height Adjustment
The Kontrol Pro separates ride height adjustment from shock and spring travel, and that design choice matters more than it sounds. Most Ksport coilover kits allow a lowering range of approximately 1 to 3 inches depending on the application. Because ride height adjustment is independent, you can run a lowered stance without bottoming out the shock body. That is a common problem with budget coilover designs that tie the two adjustments together. The Kontrol Pro avoids it by design.
Monotube Construction
The Kontrol Pro uses a high-pressure monotube design with oil and gas separated in the cylinder. Compared to twin-tube construction, the monotube dissipates heat faster and more evenly. That translates to finer, more consistent damping adjustments over a long drive or a track session where heat builds in the shock. It also significantly reduces oil aeration and cavitation, the two main causes of ride quality degradation in twin-tube designs under sustained load.
Pillowball Top Mounts and Camber Adjustment
On MacPherson strut applications, Ksport fits pillowball top mounts with a patented bearing design. The bearing reduces the clunking on full steering lock that plagues many coilovers with solid pillowball mounts, while still delivering the sharper steering feel and response that a pillowball mount provides over a rubber OEM-style mount. On applicable models, the pillowball mounts also offer up to 5 degrees of camber adjustment, which can eliminate the need for a separate camber kit when you lower the car and need to bring alignment back into spec.
Billet Aluminum Construction and Corrosion Protection
Mounts, collars, and spring perches are machined from 6061-T6 billet aluminum: lightweight, hard, and corrosion-resistant. Steel shock bodies are zinc electroplated for rust protection. Each kit also includes an anti-rust paste packet for application to key contact areas at the time of install. Combined, these details mean the Kontrol Pro holds up in real-world conditions, not just in a controlled shop environment.

Who the Ksport Kontrol Pro Is Built For
The Kontrol Pro works for two types of buyers. The first is a daily driver who wants a lowered, planted stance and better handling without giving up too much ride comfort. Set the damping around the soft end of the range (clicks 1-12 from the soft stop) and the Kontrol Pro rides well on normal roads. The second buyer is the weekend track or autocross driver who wants a single kit that works for the commute and the event. The full 36-step range gives that driver meaningful adjustment from one setting to the other without buying two separate suspension setups.
Where Ksport coilovers stand out against other options in a similar price range is platform coverage. If you are shopping for coilovers on a Nissan 350Z, Infiniti G35, Lexus IS300, or Acura Integra, Ksport is typically one of the few brands offering a true monotube fully adjustable kit in this price segment. For less common platforms like DeLorean, Lancia, Lotus, Morgan, and others, Ksport may be the only adjustable coilover option available from an authorized USA dealer.
If maximum adjustability is the priority and budget is less of a constraint, Ksport's GT Pro and Circuit Pro series step up to separate compression and rebound adjustment. If the priority is an off-road or gravel rally-capable kit, the Gravel series handles dirt, ice, and snow. Call us to discuss which series fits your specific use case.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much can I lower my car with the Kontrol Pro?
Most applications lower between half an inch and 2.5 inches below stock. Some models allow up to 3 inches of lowering. The exact range depends on the specific chassis. The lowering range is listed on each product page, and we can confirm it for your car if you call.
Is a super-low or extreme-low version available?
No. Ksport does not offer super-low or extreme-low coilovers. If that amount of drop is the goal, air suspension is the appropriate direction.
Can I upgrade the springs on the Kontrol Pro?
Ksport sells replacement springs but does not offer spring upgrades for the Kontrol Pro. The variety of rear spring configurations across the platform range makes it impractical to offer alternative spring rates for every supported application.
Should I preload the springs?
No. Zero preload is correct. Do not preload the springs during installation.
How do I find the baseline damping setting?
Turn the damping knob to full firm (until it stops), then count back 18 clicks toward soft. That center point is your baseline starting position. From there, adjust softer or firmer based on your driving. On Kontrol Pro kits with non-inverted shocks, the knob is accessed from the top of the coilover. On GT Pro and certain rally applications with inverted shocks, the adjustment is at the bottom.
What is the warranty on Ksport coilovers?
All Ksport coilovers sold through Coilovers.com come with a 12-month limited warranty against manufacturer's defect. Warranty questions specific to your order should be directed to Ksport USA directly. The warranty is not transferable between owners.
What are the shipping box dimensions?
A typical Ksport coilover kit ships in a box measuring 28 x 18 x 8 inches, averaging around 55 lbs. Weight and dimensions can vary between 36 lbs and 75 lbs depending on the application. Free shipping applies to most kit orders within the United States.
What if I need a track-specific or rally Ksport kit?
