Glad to see you got them in good condition!! Although UPS torn one of the box handles. Grrr!

Crazy day today with graduation but as soon as I got home I had the Ksports waiting on the doorstep! Rushed to my buddies house to hurry and install!

You had a great day huh!? How'd the install go?

 

[chumlet]

Install was not a problem although I feel as if I did something wrong. They are stiff to the point where it is scary. Only the rear and I have adjusted them to the softest setting. No problems with the front very smooth, just the rear

It's weird that your rear spring perches are silver... All the Ksport M2 sets I saw are orange...

Yes! I was wondering the same. Please ask Eric at Ksport about that as well.

I have the same thing silver perch. but ride wasnt that hard i didset the softest but at the same time i adjust the strut length. im not completely done i just did the install today and will be fine tuning it tomorrow.

Mine was silver too. Honestly, these are the best riding coilovers I have ever ridden in. My suspension setup is softest at the front, stiffest dampening on the rear. Rides like a champ.. handles soooo flat too. It's crazy.

Car looks good though! I need to make the rear lower on my car

Glad to hear 3 of you have silver perches. I got mine not too long ago and their orange. I guess they changed the color. Not sure. As long as it works.

Not sure why my ride is so rough it has gotten a bit better after playing around with the dampening I really don't mind a rough ride it's just the car might haha I'll go pro a drive in the car and upload it tomorrow so you guys can compare!

Just curious to know if you've ever owned other cars with coilovers installed? So that you can compare your past experience with the new one you're having.

I'm sure you ahem... have.... but have you guys gotten your alignment done? Before i got mine done my tires were screaming at 30mph on small curves. Get your alignments people!

Those wheels look familiar.... hmmmm...

hahahahaha! But on the coil over question. No I have never owned another car with coil overs installed but I have been playing around with the dampening settings and it has gotten much better!
