ziptie around the brake line and then over the wannabe brake line bracket both under and over the bracket securing the brakeline best as possible .

the stainless steel lines are easier to ziptie , keep better positioning instead of having slack that can and did get crunched by the body seam.

 

well I wouldn't say they're 36 way adjustable but they are adjustable as far as "hard" and then "soft" with a ton of adjustment. multiple spins. so there's a lot of adjustment.

 

here is what we mean by using zip ties. just looks at that wanna be bracket they provide. doesn't even have anything to lock the lines on too. just a half as$ half circle.
all together i have 3 ties two on the line and the other is one is one is on the bracket.

o ok now i get. thanks for the pic

 

how soon should you do the alignment after you install these?

 

depends on how much you drop it or rise it back up. from stock i drop mine drasticly so the alignment was horrible. just to get by i did it myself. i tot it was good but guess not. about a week went by and my new tires was nearly bald. reacommend finding the ride height you want and depends on how bad the alignment is. do it "right" away, but if you think the alignment is so bad that you can't even get to the shop than do it yourself just enough to get there. after rotating my tires i did the alignment myself again took me about an hour of tweaking to get it almost perfect. when i went in to get recon alignment, the guy said mine was in spec. i was supprise. so if you're really patient an know what you're doing you can do it yourself.

asap. your tires , handling , and wallet will thank you .

 

i need help with adjusting the rear. to go low do you adjust the perch going up or going down. and the rubber peices are we suppose to use them. i know the rubber peice on top were suppose to use but what about the bottom?

 

yes use a slim rubber piece for the bottom.

all you do to lower the rear is rotate the adjusters to the bottom.

 

does anybody know the size for the bolt that tightens the rear perch cuz some how one of

mine came off or does ksport have replacements?

 

just go to the hardware store take the other bolt out and use that for reference inside the hardware store grade8 is overkill but hey

 

i took off the other one and went to home depot but no luck they didnt have any. do you think checkers or napa might have? would it be okay if i didnt replace the bolt and plate

 

Try Lowe's they usually have a better hardware selection then home Depot. if not them maybe an Ace Hardware or True Value.

 

yeah hardware store not home depot. imo

Finally got around to installing the Ksport coilovers. Here is a some pics:

Here is the rear spring perch. Spring is at its lowest position. I did have to take out 15mm worth of spacers to avoid major rubbing. I left the OTG camber plate in just as added protection against rubbing. So far I am free of rubbing in the back. I also took the suggestion of wrapping the rear springs with vinyl to reduce spring knock.


Here is the front coilover. It was a pita to get the right height. Most of my install time was jacking the car up and down, tires on and off, bolting the lower mount on and off.....arrrgggg.
The threads from the lower mount to the spring perch measure about 4 1/4 inches. There is a little rubbing on points you guys talked about.


Here is the bracket they give you for the brake line. It works fine. I used the original bracket for the abs line to attach to the bracket.




Im still getting used to these springs, and I know more adjustments will be in my future. They are very bouncy at low speeds (the dampening on the shocks is set to the most stiff position, so thats part of it). You definitely can feel every crack in the road.
One thing that is kind of annoying is when taking off from a stop, the wheels bounce and lose traction. My S Techs did not do this.
I know they suggest not doing it, but did anybody preload the springs a little more using the perch?
I know I will have to eventually do some work on the front to eliminate the rubbing, but too tired for now. Did any of you guys find a good solution to the point that rubs?

What about camber bolts? Has anyone used them with any success?

Thanks to hotbox for a little help as well.

 

you do know that you have the rear adjusted to the highest it can go right ?
