Here are some pics of my ksports. I know they're a bunch on the board now so I figured I'd add to the collection. (first)

I've been looking at these and the teins, I'm wondering how these ride. I've ridden in a pro with the tein's and it rode smooth just wondering how these ride.

Looks nice! Hope they ride well.

The ride is great!...may be a little bumpy at times(especially on some Houston roads), but overall it's not that bad. (thumb)

I have them installed already, and if you have a full load of people and/or luggage, the ride is even better than stock. however if you are the only one in the car, the ride is very jittery. Never painful, but never relaxing.

Oh, and I would suggest, msp102, to put some silicone around the pillow mounts after you have done your alignments. Water will shoot into your engine bay (along with salt if you are in that region of the country) if you do not.

Thanks for the tip...I saw daedulus' thread about that in the Suspension forum, and planned on doing it.

It doesn't look very good afterward, at least when I did it, but it works surprisingly well. I have less salt in my engine bay now than I did when the stock suspension kit was on.

You shouldn't have to worry about the back. At least in my setup, I don't have a pillow mount for the rears. Also, there is a rubber gasket that covers the rear, so water doesnt' have any place to go, unlike the front.

Great idea, thank you! I have all sorts of grime in that area

Here is how I did mine. Forgive the wretched engine bay and horrible picture quality.

That rust is from the stock stiffener rusting out because the stock suspension "leaked" salt all over my engine bay. Thank you Cleveland and ODOT.

once you put in silicone, you cant adjust your camber, can you?

You'd have to redo it when you do adjust it, but silicone is cheap and you aren't going to be messing with it that much, are you?

one setting for street, one setting for autocross

Ah gotcha. I guess you'd just have to redo it. I'm going to try to find a happy medium camber setting that works for street and autocross. Then probably go back to stock spec in the off season.
