Kore Leveling kit

What changed? They are selling it for basically the price you can do spacers and shocks for now?

$335 seems like a steal, Bilsteins will run you $150, plus drop blocks, you are looking at less than $150 for their set of springs.

Anybody know why, I'm assuming they are still good springs right?

Just seems odd to drop the price when steel prices are skyrocketing

According to KORE, they are "restructuring" their product line. I'm sure these prices will be temporary.

"Restructuring"? What does that mean? Moving production to cheap offshore sources?

No. I think they are changing what is included in each system. Stuff like that.

Why the decrease in the Kore kit price?

The answer is obvious. It is because I just dropped over $600 on a Lorenz kit two weeks ago!

Nah, I'm very happy with Sean's kit. I just got the rear shocks in today and putting them on this weekend.

Just ordered it... could not pass up on that price! I know Lorenz kit is probably a bit better, but at almost $300 more, I couldn't justify it.

that is rediculous cheap! many places have had a bilstein price increase, so it's like getting the springs for like $170 and the drop blocks for free!

Maybe it has to do with getting some quick cash flow,you will notice that the dealers can not sell them for that.

The Kore springs are AMAZING. I have a friend with the Unlimited kit (11,000 bucks!). The progressive spring rate is an amazing difference.

NOPE...I checked last week when I ordered mine. They are the same exact ones. I ordered 2, one of them for me and one for my friends 07. I also got the mini pacs. However, Im pretty disappointed that they were not on my doorstep today when I got home!!!

A friend of mine found out about that on TDR and I bought them the same day...it is an internet only deal BTW.

...and they HD kit comes with different front shocks....still 5100's, but the 6681 series. The rear recon kit "mini pacs" Have the 5100's that adjust to 1-3", where as the 6681 only adjusts from 1-2.5". Not a big difference, just letting you know.

As far as I can tell from the website, both DIESEL kits, regardless of whether it is the leveling kit or the Unlimited series list the "legendary VR (variable rate) coils" are included. The Hemi kits states it includes a "progressive rate coil".

It would be pretty sneaky of them to use the same exact name for 2 different coils. Could happen, but I'm guessing they are the same coil. If so, $335 bucks is an absolute STEAL.
