@KOR metal FAB
@dsw1020 I gave up on thinking there would be more any update, I think KOR is just really busy, but you would think for their innovation and stocking these kits they would make an effort to show them off!
not sure I would purchase but definitly interested and could be convinced if real world experience warrented the upgrade

@ToyotaIsLife Do people convert Torsion Bar 100s to Coil over in Qatar?
Never been done here. Only 1 inch additional travel, i believe . to much work.
Where are the videos? This thread has been going on for over a year now.
Why did it die? Is this kit still available?

It does exist and it’s pretty impressive. I ordered a set sans the King shocks. Will fit a comparable Fox in their place

We are all still waiting for measurements... eye to eye for shock fully extended and droop numbers... I still don't believe anything about this kit will change travel numbers because it does not extend the arms or the axles. Good ride? I'm sure, but that has more to do with the shock tuning
I wonder how it compares to this
Super Deluxe Suspension Package
This setup is awesome and I'm very impressed with it I would just like more down travel and more tunability

I dont understand how KOr can put so much tine amd effprt i to making such a unique and quality product but fall short on marketing.
Just tell people the benefits and video of it running

I think all of you guys talked 'em out of it, LOL!
In all of the pictures of their lower arms I didn't see any water drain holes. That would be a concern for me.

Drain holes where? They are a fully welded arm, so they are fully sealed. The only place I could see water pooling is in the shock mount.
Not everyone wants to be a huge operation. If they are receiving the all of the orders they want to fulfill, then why should they be marketing? EarthX was very forthcoming about any questions anyone had at HIH8. Ha ha he was almost honest to a fault and was always sure to emphasize that there are definitely less expensive options that do most of what this kit does. This kit is seeking to be the pinnacle of what can be accomplished presently. KOR sounds like they were also very open to dealing with serious buyers.

Hey everyone. Hopefully I can answer a few of your questions about this kit. First off, be be clear, I'm not affiliated with KOR at all, I gave him real money in exchange for these parts....If i thought this kit sucked you'd hear me saying so. It does not!
I told him I try and get some photos and measurements and show it off to anyone who was interested. I'm working on putting together a install/review thread that hopefully will answer more questions and I'll post up photos there.
I can't agree with this statement at all. When I bought my kit, Chris at KOR had already sold 4 or 5 kits. As of this week, he has sold out of the remaining 4-5 kits he had sitting on his shelf. That is in no way falling short on marketing. Not everyone is an Instagram whore or has the time to keep up on the forums. He is starting to fab a new batch this coming week. I know at least on person who just bought a kit after seeing mine at HIH.
I think whats happing is it's simply the people who bought these kits are out there using them rather than spending time online talking about it.....thats what i should be doing right now, haha.
Simply not a concern at all. Like DirtDawg said, the arms are fully welded and sealed.....even the shock mount could only hold a tiny about of water.
No one has 'talked him out of it', he is fabing new kits the week.
Gungriffin hit the nail on the head. Chris at one point had a large shop with a number of employees and decide it wasn't worth the added time and stress. He is as busy as he wants to be right now and is selling out of these kits with 0 marking.....that says a lot right there. He is back to a one man shop and focuses an quality parts. I do a lot a fab work and was very impressed with his shop and the work he is putting out.
On top of that, I imagine he makes a lot more money selling Chevy and side x side parts.
Like Gungriffin said, Im very honest with what I think about the kit. You guys have to understand that for every 50 'very interested' 100series owners, he probably only sells one. It simply takes too much time to respond to every single criticism or question that pops up from people that will realistically never consider spending the money to buy a kit............Rant over
I'll do my best to get a new thread started very soon.
Cheers

Ah, missed that in the pics. Good eye there DirtDawg.
Is anyone or current owner ever going to post travel gain claims of this set up?

I like I said if you had read my post.......I’m working on putting together a thread and providing you measurements......
I’m a happy customer who would rather go play, spend time with my family and work on my projects than sit at the computer making a thread but I’m willing to do it to help provide the info.
