After a year of record-setting sales for KSport’s popular Kontrol Pro coilover suspension systems, KSport is proud to announce a revamped Kontrol Pro coilover system for 2010 that comes as a result of hundreds of hours in research and development, as well as customer feedback and industry technology improvements. In addition, many specific applications for the Kontrol Pro feature KSport’s patent-pending new flagship upper pillowball mountings system, the ProStreet pillowball. Available on the market after August 1 2009, all new Kontrol Pro coilover systems will feature the new design upgrades.
Starting with the most obvious visual change, the electro-plated steel shock and strut bodies on the Kontrol Pro will benefit from an all new plating technology that not only has proven to give stronger protection from the elements, but also changes the trademark silver body appearance, to a more subtle black color. Along with this new plating process and color change, comes improved protection and durability for harsh environments such as snow, salt and dust, as well as protection from fluids and debris often seen in racing environments.
All Kontrol Pro coilover strut applications will receive two major upgrades: an increased strut body diameter and the ProStreet upper pillow ball mount. The 8% increase in strut body diameter comes directly from KSport’s racing development program and will provide extra strength for the high demand situations often seen with strut suspensions. Responding to customer feedback and KSport’s own research, the patent-pending ProStreet upper pillow ball mount featured on all new Kontrol Pro strut applications utilizes a special design in which the upper spherical bearing is housed inside a poly-rubber housing for increased ride comfort, without a sacrifice to performance. Of course, all strut applications utilizing camber adjustment will retain that ability with the ProStreet mount. As with all KSport coilover systems, the warranty period has been extended from 12-months to 18-months, giving the Kontrol Pro coilover system the best warranty in the business.
