1st picture makes it look like the driver side is lower than the passenger side.

try to set all the ksports the same (pre-load, and dampening) and adjust it as you realise the car is too stiff/bouncy etc.

looking good though, even with stock wheels!

Remember, those long allen-key lookin things with the **** on top is actually to adjust the dampening of the shock, you just drop them all the way down through the top strut nut until they lock into place and then H is hard and S is soft, you can fix that stiff ride that way if you like. I love my Ksports

ok the reason the driver side looks lower on that side is because we had one side up on jack stands when i took the pic... when i dropped it they are even...

i have 20% tint... never been pulled over for it... have been pulled over and the cops said nothing( trying to get me for a weapon which was bs)

also i kno about the H and s.. right now i have it on full hard

tomorrow ill put it on full soft. right now i dont mind the ride and ill get used to it within a few weeks so ill prolly keep it on full hard...

nice man but the excitement will soon last once you see cv boot grease all over your wheels and underneat the car. and once you find out that all your motor mounts are toast cuz of the bouncy ride.

What did that cost you, i'm looking to replace my shocks and struts soon and if its not that much more, i would consider it. Anyone have a suggestion for new rotors and maybe pads?
