Ksport Before and After

BEFORE:




AFTER:



I had to raise the front a little. Its was rubbing everything, including wires under the fenders and noone could align it that low.

Dopeeeeee. Can't tell from the angle but if your whole headlights are tinted that's a no-no.

Good job. In your pic, your drop isn't exactly even. How does it sit now? Even steven?

We wanted it to sit alittle lower in front, but it didnt work out to the garage's advantage, so its quite even now

Thanks broski, much appreciated. What dampening setting do you have your Ksports set to? How's the ride? Congrats on no longer being a 4x4, looks so much better!!

i have it on the stiffest, i think 37 for dampening. the ride is awesome. With the rims its a little bumpy but it just rides over most of the bumps like a stock car. I really really enjoy it.

I got a question for you. maybe you could help, my camber is wayyyy off and it was adjusted once. is there a way to adjust it on the coilovers? the top of the mount has like 4 allen key things and i dont know if that is what it is. its rough.. i went through brand new tires in less than 2 months..

Looks great! I need to save up for some coils.

I bet you've got a lot of negative camber.

Gotcha, I'm not a 4th gen guy so that's not something I would pick up on.

Definitely post up more pictures from different angles though, I'm really liking the way that drop looks.

Too low for a alignment? who said that?? Go to R/T Tuning... Our car's suck with camber honestly easiest way is jack up both front wheels and make sure the camber plates on top are even with each other. ive had ksports for about a year and got a decent alignment and my tires arent being worn at all.

my best friend got tein coilovers but they were so hard to figure out. we still dont think we got it right. we basically just made it so loose the springs just move around, and its still not as low and the ksport. if i can convince you to get ksport i would,..

THANKS! yea its looks great even..

and the cefiros were a pain in the @ss, i had to cut the bar off that holds the stock headlights on, and they stuck out and had a gap. it wasnt until i rolled my fenders that they sit absolutely perfect in every way.

BEWARE! if you put them on yourself thats fine.. but wait atleast a week before you align them. it couldnt be causing more problems taking the advice of a mechanic that was wrong..

Yes, that's what the 4 allen bolts are for...to adjust camber. Make sure you have the wheels off the ground when you make any adjustments though.

Move the strut so the top of it angles more towards the engine to get more negative camber, move the strut so the top of it angles more towards the outside of the car to get more positive camber.

That's the extremely rough guide. You really want a professional to do it so they can properly adjust it and also change caster/toe as needed.

haha thanks man, i was just thinking i would tell the guy workin on it about that bc im sure that when a stock alignment and camber is fixed they dont have to adjust the top of the struts.. its much appreciated man, and im honored to have ya comment on my car!
