Whats up guys? Just ordered a set of Ksport's. Should get them next week. Man i cant wait, riding around on busted struts sucks so the new coilovers will be very welcomed.

I have some questions though:
Whats the deal with pre-load? Do i need it or not? How much?
Whats the best setting to have the struts? (0-36)
What should i have the camber adjusted to?

Thanks for all the help guys?

If you read that 35 pages of Ksports coilovers like BlackMaxima told you, you wont understand most of conversations, so i just answer you all the questions yu want, and once you got yurs install start read that thread. It Helps.

Just set yur preload 0, which is the spring just touching bottom perches and the top, not compressing it. You can adjust it the way you want after.

There only 4 full turns, which calculated out that each full turn is equal to 9. But you really cant tell, so just adjustin it by full turn or half turn. Once you get it you no wat the hell am talking about.
But good setting : 1 full turn from hard / 1 full turn soft.
Also tires' pressure make some what different to yur ride quality.

Just set it in the center, after yur height is set as you want it, go get an alignment, this is very important, cuz it'll wear out yur tires like a bisnatch, especially if you like to do crazy sharp turns.

Let me tell you my FRRRiend, you will love it. I learned all this from d00df00d and others

 

I find that the best settings are:

One full turn from full soft in front, one half turn from full soft in back

or

Full stiff all around.

 

You were right some of it made sense but most of if was not understandable. I will do as you say when i get them. Thanks for the help.

i have my pre load set of 0, which said above, is make sure the springs are held in place good by the lower spring prech but do not put any pressure on the. i went until it was tight plus 1/2 turn.

i set mine in the middle........2 turns. my car ride ****ing awsome! i cannot belive the ride i acheived at the height i am at. Alot o people will say they are real harsh but they have nto adjusted them correctly.

i set my camber at at factory specs......i had to use the camber plates at the top to adjust to get the right camber.
