Default Just got my "NEW" Suspension

I just got my new K-sport coilovers last Friday and i just now put them on no pics of how the car sits yet. I'm going to lower it some more first I'm sure you have seen my other thread with all the pics of my car so no point in showing them again. I've put them on level at flush height and it sit the same as it did on lowering springs but the difference is that i can still go another 3in lower in the back and 2-3in in the front and it has pillow tops in the front and the rear. With the stiffening and softening adjustment is great it rides smooth like stock but lower. Along with the custom spring rates of 10k front and 8.7k in the rear. I know a lot of people dont like ksport because they think they are crap but they are great. Everything fit properly from the mounts to the brake lines and sway bar link. Best investment ive made. More pics to come all i need now is wheels. Any ideas

Did you do out of the box install or did you set them and then put them on?

I should but i never took any pics when i first got the car 3 years ago and its been on lowering springs for about 2 years now and the only pics i have are of it already lowered. When i put the coils on the car looked the exact same as it did on lowering springs. The only difference is in handling stiffness and the fact that i can adjust camber on the front and back at the bottom and the pillowtops oh and i can still lower the front and back another 2-4in give or take

Thanks thats a good point my friend said the same thing. Ive buffed the head lights over 4 times sense ive had her but after about 3-4 months they are back to that nasty yellow look.

So you have an extra brand new pair or a clear used pair?

Ive also wanted to do a retro fit but im too scared get a nice new pair then mess up tacking them apart or putting the wrong projectors in them.

Any advice would be much appreciated.
