Default I was to excited to not show everyone




Ksport Kontrol Pros

Came in today.

Did buy used courtesy of supraforums. 1 is leaking (I knew in advance) and needs a new shock body so that will be shipped out tomorrow. Obvious which one is leaking haha. But once it comes back there going on my car

UPDATE 9/30

Crappy cell phone pic and its dark outside sorry its been storming.

Took a total of 6 hours 2 Friends and me we just kept running into problems left and right. haha. I now need 2 new wheel studs and down the road endlinks for swaybars

Im relocating the harness this weekend cause the wheel is taping it over bumps then im going to drop it more.

I was told while on my 16's I should get 205/50/16 what you guys think? I want to get some new wheels soon though.

haha thank you damn spell check. What is cheap to you ? I paid 400 shipped. I figured 110 dollars for the new shock body bring me to a total of 510. Isn't bad?

Nice drop! I'm glad to see you've got them on now. I'm about to go back to my stock wheels on a similar drop so this gives me an idea on how my SC will look. What kind of wheels do you plan on getting?

Thanks!

Well knockoffs of course. I cant seem to find logic to buy wheels more then what I paid for the car haha my part time job only makes so much money.

I really love the Rotas D2 the whole fat 5 look

Or something multispoke like these

hey, how does the ride feel with the ksports.. i have them as well and when i posted pics people said these coilovers are very bouncy, being that these are my first set of coilovers on a car, i can't judge it for myself... they seem bouncy but idk if that's normal for aftermarket coilovers.. i have the stiffness about 2 notches from completely stiff

I enjoy the ride. Yes its a little bouncy but thats only normal the lower you are the more youll feel dips and bumps in the roads. Ride just like my friend Honda Civic or other friends 240 that are on coilovers...Rides much better then my brothers Civic SI whos on springs.

I think I have mine all the way stiff
