Default K Sport Coilovers Finally In

Ok, So I picked up the K sports on Monday. Got them in yesterday. They seem to be some nice coilovers. The install on them was really easy. The hardest aprt about them is getting them to the ride heigth that you need. I have not had a good chance to tune them yet. I drove down around the block. They are alot more stiff then my Tein S techs that is for sure. I can swirve back and forth and feel the tires actaully giving. Mind you they are 30 series tires. The car does not lean at all. I think with the coilovers and front and rear braces it is nice. I didnt drive the car today since it was raining here. LOL.. Go figure it rains in AZ the one day I want to really drive the car. Well here is some pics. I will get some final pics of the cars stance today or tomorrow. I was running out of time as we needed to get going to the 4th celebrations.
new coilovers

old spring

new coilover in

rear coilover in

I will get some more pics later for sure though.

i like the adjustable swaybar link. you can slam the car and not worry about the endlinks rubbing/clunking.

the front coilvers are nice (pillow mounts, camber plates, fully height adjustable without loss of suspension travel). too bad the rear coilovers are stripped of any nice functions.

they look real nice. But they sound too stiff for my taste.

Enjoy them

I think the stiffness is from being new and I have not adjusted anything yet. They seem to be getting better the more I drive. They are awesome though.

The drop from Current stock height is 4" from what I have been told. I run mine pretty low if you cant tell. I am checking on spring rate right now. I will let you know as soon as I can get it from them.
