i havent installed Ksports, but i installed my Koni yellows + H&R race springs...they came pre-assembled so the install hould be the same as full-coilovers

-jack the car up, set on jackstands and remove wheels

**REAR**
-unbolt the shock bolt on each LCA (14MM i think? i cant remember)
-unbolt the two bolts on either side from the inside behind the access pannel that holds the shock to the body
-remove the old **** and install the new set-up, havign a friend/jack hold up the new set-up as you rebolt the shock to the bosy (loosely)
-line up the LCA into the shock fork and re-install the shock bolt

done and done.

**FRONT**
(this is a little harder, but not by that much)

-unbolt the brakelines from the old set-up
-unbolt the shock bolt from the LCA (you need a wrench on one side of this, i think)
-unbolt the shock form the body, in the engine bay, pull the bottom fork towards you and pull it over the axle being careful not to damage anything and slide the top through the upper control arm, if it doesnt fit (like mine) unbolt the upper control arm from the engine bay
-unbolt the fork from the stock shock and transfer to the new set-up
-bolt the new set-up to the body after sliding the axle through the fork , rebolt the upper control arm and bolt the fork to the LCA...zip tie the brakelines so the ywill never intefere with the spring re-install anything i forgot to mention to re-install

done and done.

-put wheels back on and BAM, lower and better at cornering then ever.

do it at home, verry easy once you get to cee whats up. BUT you may need some airtools, i did it with a 2135Ti, it went really well but i needed to replace the LCAs in the back because the strut bolt didnt want to come out (but i live in salty canada and my car has 320k on it )
