I got them installed less than 2 months ago!
It's kinda bumpy, but I dont mind it after getting used to it...
I had the setting set on 8 which is what many users advised me to!

I get a lotta compliments on the perfect drop!
It also hanndles better on corners or fast lane switches versus the stock suspension!

I have a set.... running them at 10f/11r right now. I had them at 7/8 before but ti was tooo bouncy/floaty for me.
Some pics of the drop. I'm thinking about raising the rear a tad...it rubs a little bit when I hit the big dips/bumps...and if I have passengers in the rear seat.

Yeah, they're $975 shipped in a GD right now (that was listed above).

My buddy has these on his Acura and granted they are a bit more rough, but they are coilovers.

The way it's setup right now it feels a little bit smoother than my friend's 5th gen with illuminas/htech's. It's not as aggressive as the JICS...but I think it's a good compromise. the guy with the illuminas/Htech's got rid of his ksports because of the rough ride. The tein SS coilover spring rates aren't that high so that probably explains it.
