Add that to the fact ksports are possibly the lowest dropping spring...

For a 2.5" drop, your car doesn't look all that lowered. There's still a big gap. You know that the Tokico blues are oem replacement thus it won't be able to handle extreme drops and stiff springs. They will blow quickly. Just a thought.

I really think you should redo that setup and INSTALL bumpstops or you will be buying new shocks tomorrow..

No bump stops. Your going to blow the struts/shocks and possibly do some nice damage to the mounting area of the unibody with just one good shot.
