Hello there everyone,
I would like to post up my old Ksport Kontrol Pro's for sale since I have recently installed the GT Pro Damper System from Ksport.
My reason for upgrading wasn't really that big of a deal, these are in good condition, but not great. The right front shock started leaking a bit of oil, if I lifted the bump stop up off the shock top, a bit of oil would wander down the threads. Some oil leaking (misting) is normal, but I believe this was a bit more than normal. The damper still has plenty of compression, and there were no funny noises other than the normal occasional slight click when turning (that is just the spring rarely twisting in-between the perches - nothing to worry about). So you can get it rebuilt for about $125 from what I hear (it will have to be sent to Ksport in Arizona). Or you can simply install them and see how badly if at all it is still leaking.
I completely dis-assembled each coilover and thoroughly cleaned them as you will see in my before and after pics.
There is normal wear and tear on the lock nuts for the spring perches and lower mounts, and a couple of the strut to knuckly mounting holes got slightly bent in, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with these that would hinder safety in any way.
I kept all original packing materials so they will be shipped in a very safe package, I included the NEW brackets for your brake lines that came with my GT Pro system since I already bent and shaped my old ones that originally came with the Kontrol Pro's (no need to do it again).
Here are the pictures:

The price I am asking is $500 plus shipping, obo.
As you can see by this link:
http://www.kjbmotorsports.com/suspen-hyu-r...-ksportpro.html
these go for $1100 brand new so that isn't a bad deal, a little more than half the price after the front shock is rebuilt (if you deem it necessary). And they are in good shape as you can see from the pics. The lock nuts are in the worst condition out of anything else, but are still usable.
Please feel free to ask any questions.
Thank you.

I would gladly take it of you but the shipping to Croatia,Europe just sucks. I think that the last when I was trying to get Gary's coilovers it was about US$300 from Canada which would put me in the pricing range of the new ones.
