Default k sport full coilover

yea i cancled my skunk 2 order, and got some ksport full coilovers.


alright yea got them installed, not sure what stiffness setting their in but i love it, handles like its on rails.

just one thing, my back right side seems to be the highest of them off? its about a finger higher then the back left side? can someone explain why this is? could this be because ive been taking more hard right turns then left ones?

adjustable dampening is the setting for ur strut... softer or harder I believe are the two settings... im not a pro on dampening skillz but just offering my .02..

and as far as K Sports, i've heard quite a few good things about them, but again never personally owned a set so GL with urs..

had em on my last two cars. love em. they are damper adjustable, meaning you can adjust the amount of stiffness. i usually ride with mine right about full soft, which is plenty stiff for me.

u can feel each click so you can turn them all the way till they stop..then go up X amount of clicks or go back X amount of clicks depending on what you want..i got it all the way stiff up front...and then i turned the rears all the way to the end and then went 5 clicks back in the rear..i like it.

yea also sometimes if the company who sells them to you has some sort of scruples, they'd add a number order on the top side of the ****... with a little arrow showing you which number is selected, so that makes it easier for people with I.Q's under 12.349

and also, should i make it stiffer in the front or in the rear, or just even all over.

I want to say that you would want it a lil stiffer in the rear.

With KYB AGX 4-ways people would run 3-Front and 4-Rear from what I have read in the past (using this in comparison to your Ksports of course)
