I don't know of anyone in the USA with the TNK. TNK is a new "brand", a merging of T&P and another company. In theory, they should just be the next evolution of the T&P coilovers, which always had a good reputation in korea, other than being slighly harsh.

I spoke with Joonie, Titan counter part in korea.

He said they are really hard. Most koreans do not care much for ride quality. so I am guessing, you probably wont like them.

I actually talked to him as well.

Upon getting the total for the price, you might as well go with KORE.

TNK - 700
shipping - 200 (his quote)

the coilovers dont even come with the pillow mounts like the KORE parts. The pillow mounts would be an additional $350 (his quote).

The upper mounts for the struts/coilovers.

The Kore units have adjustable (camber) pillow ball mounts. The TNK units do not.

I think they do. But you have to ask for it.

i don't think you should get the tnp's. kore are less expensive, come with ALL the necessary parts, and will give you firmer suspension, but still be daily drivable. if you're going all our race-only, go with tnp. smile.gif

Let's see. The KORE/QUEST's are $1200 with the pillow mounts. I will be paying only around $1100 for them TNP's with the pillow mounts.

The TNK's are more expensive.
