just gauging interest, after speaking to kev at k-sport (kev@ksport) about a group buy on coilovers for the k11 and k12 micras..
he has taken time out to call me and discuss a rather large discount on the k11 coiover kits and even the oppertunity for all you K12 guys to have some coilovers designed and made up for you.
heres the e-mail
Hi Antony,
K11 first .....
We can do a discount for car clubs on the following terms for KSport K11 coilovers.
The K11 you can specify spring rates
1) Order details and 10% deposits will be collected from participants in the buy, deposits are non refundable.
2) Once the buy is closed the order will be dispatched from the factory on a boat, this gives a total lead-time of around 10 weeks.
3) You have to pass the URL for the thread on the forum so I can go and answer questions.
4) The discount will be 15% for 5-9 orders, and 20% for 10+ orders.
I have registered on MSC as Kev@KSport
K12 now.... Although we could do the same for K11 if you would like.
We cant do the KSport coilovers, however we do work with other coilover manufacturers who can make a kit to fit the K12 from scratch.
We have a long association with the BC brand, and have had some made for the Pulsar GTiR in association with the GTiROC. We can do the same for the MSC.
We run the BC Coilover on all our road and race cars, you will also find good reviews on other owners clubs such as Scoobynet and MLR.
The Process would be.
1) The MSC will need to supply at least 1 front and 1 rear OEM spring/damper/top mount units, or a full set, these will be used to take measurements at the factory and we cant promise to be able to return these.
2) We'll need pics of a standard car @ standard ride height, and the drop-range people would like.
3) We'll make a test kit from this and MSC will need to find somebody willing to buy the kit (at a group buy price) and do a test fit. Any changes can then be made, and the tester test the changes.
All this process should be visible with pics + posts on the forum then everyone can see what's happening in the development, and have a chance for input.
We encourage open and honest feedback as this is the best way to make a quality product.
4) Once the tester is happy with the kit, we'll run a group buy on the forum with everyone able to specify their own spring rates if required. Road users will probably want softer springs than track goers.
You can see how this worked with the GTiROC in this thread

We wont be able to set a firm price until at least the OEM struts have been examined by the factory. However £579 is our current cheapest kit and £649 is the price of the most expensive normal sort of kit - i.e. not including those with inverted dampers, or remote reservoirs. Again a discount of 20% on similar terms to the KSport Group Buy.
