Default my quick K-Sport review

sorry for the long delay of the review. i have been busy as **** with school/work.

anyways, i LOVE these so far. ive driven about 1500 miles on them so far and have not had any problems. i am sitting pretty damn low. my front tires are barely tucking, and my rears have about a 1/2-1/3 inch gap. and have the shocks set all the way to soft. the ride is pretty firm with very little body roll, but not too harsh. not bouncy at all. you definitely know it when you hit a big bump, but its not like bone shattering like some of my previous setups were.

here's a quick pic that i took to show how low it is. i'll take some better ones in the next couple of weeks when it stops snowing and i actually have some time to wash it and take some good pics.

im not gonna go much lower than it is now, im going to just lower the rear a tiny bit more and leave the front alone.

as far as "how low can they go", well, they will go low enough for you to bottom out your inner fenders against your tires (which is un-driveable). so yeah, you can get any amount of drop you want with these, with still preserving the strut compression stroke length.

i actually got the 92-95 civic rates instead of the 94-01 integra rates. the integra ones seemed like they would be a little harsh for street driving.
