Default Pic Req: Cars with Ksport

Would like to see some pictures of the ksport setup and how low your car is sitting on the ground, and how it rides. Planning to get myself some ksports.

the trick with ksports (and all the other similar coilovers) is to adj the height using the threaded lower mounts. and not the spring perches. If that makes any sense.... set the perches so the springs are not loose (not compressed) just nice and snug...and lower the car with the mounts.

Ksports can go low. But theyre too stiff IMO for Daily Driving.

Old teg. Sorry about the pic. They are about halfway down. No complaints about the ride.

hmm it says 32 way adjustable, but seems like 4 full turn and it stops? how is that 32 way? can someone fill me in on this one. im confused. someone explain me the dampening system on ksports? i used to have ground control coils on tokico illuminas rides way better than ksports

i use these for track/autox and they are pretty good for the deal i got. one blew out on me tho, altohugh they replace them for 100 bucks no questions asked.

the 32 way adjust comes from the amount of stiffness adjust/height/dampening etc all added up.

i rode like this all summer, could have gone ALOT lower.

Yeah the Ksports are really stiff for pothole city Chicago and mine are set all the way to soft. I have a set on my 95 EG Hatch and im thinking about getting rid of them next year for some Eibach sportlines and KYB-AGX adjustables for my daily driving.

could go alot lower, but why. No complaints about the ride tho its even custom spring rates to be a litte stiffer than normal up front.

i have mine on a half turn off full hard, with i think 9k front and 10k rear (possibly other way around) and it rides pretty nicely, handles real well thats for sure.

those that are saying too firm for daily driving. Are you sure they are just correctly? I found them no firmer then... the stock stuff on an 06 si. This was on a DA with a decent drop (installed/adj correctly) set on full soft...
