so i got this in the mail the other day... will be going on this weekend.. will post pictures as soon as this is installed

 

how much is it? and is this plug and play? if i bought this does it require other things? im a reall suspension nooob O_o

 

you buy it remove your old put on the new.... easier said than done i guess.. haha

 

So I wonder if they changed anything aside from the color...

 

on the box just says "the new color of perfection"..... not sure what that suppose to mean...

 

Lol. Ill make a few calls and find out. I doubt they changed much, if anything aside from the color.

 

yes let us know.... i wouldnt know cause this is my first ksports

 

those sure are pretty.

How much did they run you?

 

Now drop it like it's hot.

 

I wish my mail man brought stuff like that to my house...he only brings bills


NICE

 

Love the black look so much better than the orange, they look good, let us know what you think of the ride

 

i had K sports on my ford probe and it could out handle anything on the road. and that's without upgraded sways, links, strut bar... JUST plain K sports. I used them for a year and a bit and sold them for 600 used!!

you are gonna be in love. I am truly jealous right now u LIL ****

those are next on my list

 

wow those look nice... might get them just because they look sick lol. did anyone find out if there was anything different about them?

 

I severely doubt they changed anything but the look

 

+1

 

dam u bought them new?

and i talked to that other guy with the teins and i think i'm gonna pass on those for now.

 

I want new K sports all over again to be honest. but something has come up.

not to thread jack but... u guyz think this is a good deal?

for function form type 2 coilovers? 300cash localpickup

they would save me 7 bills if i did get them.

I dunno about reliability tho

 

function forms? my friend has some on his TC and one blew out in couple months... but then again he bought the first batch that came out..... but 300 is kinda basically giving it away.... from pictures looks kinda rusty.. you should check them out in person....

 

yep bought them new... can really stand buying old stuff when i know it will have to be replaced... but thats just me... i wouldnt mind buying some rims used though..

 

i would do that but im waiting on a helping hand from one of my friends..

 

If you have a basic socket set and a jack you can do it yourself...

 

really? but ive never really worked on the suspension on a car... and never touch a set of coils so i dont wanna mess anything up on the coil

 

i had never done anything to suspension before ordering the coilovers for my ford probe and everything turned out amazing actually. just needed a shit load of work done to get the alignment to be perfect since all the bolts were rusted and then broke.


HOW low are you gonna go????

 

It took me about 4.5 hrs to swap in the K-Sports and thats including setting the ride height to what I wanted.

Granted, Ive swapped out coilovers on other cars prior to this, its still straightforward. Its not like swapping springs where you have to compress the spring, pull the top hat off and reinstall. Its the whole unit that youre swapping in. You do need to pull out the back seats though, which sucks.

The way I got both sides as close to even as possible was I tightened the shock body all the way. Then Id loosen them and count the turns. That gives you a good baseline for getting the car level. If you want to take it a step further you need to park the car on perfectly flat ground. Make sure the tires are filled to proper PSI all around. Measure from the ground to the fender and make the neccessary adjustments to get them even side to side.

If you do need to make some adjustments, move the car backwards and forwards to get the suspension to settle before measuring.

Dont forget to take the car for a spin and see what dampening setting you like, because once you reinstall the rear seats you cant access the adjusters.

 

so if i wanted to adjust the ride height i would have to take the suspensions apart again?

 

Yea, you need to un-do the bottom of the shock body (unbolt it from the lower control arm) and adjust.

 

ohhh ok.... got cha thanks for the help... but my friend is going to give me a helping hand monday... make things go by quicker since its 2 of us...

 

how low are u gonna GO!!!!!!??!?!?!?


and when i did it i just counted the threads...since I got wicked vision it's no biggie... just count them 2xs so u know u're bang on the money

 

might do that... i wanna try 2.5 for now since im running on cl-p stockies... trying to find some 01cl-s but kinda stuck on money right now...

 

y u trying to find some 01CL-S shocks?

and put em on yet?

i think i spent about 45 minutes on them, thats with out adjusting the height, it was already good.

 

ohh nah im saying im running cl-p stockies(rims) i wanna get the 01cl-s but everyone i looked at was ethier a chunk missing or out of my budget i wanna try and get the guy on here to ship his TSX wheels... hes basically giving them away

 

before:



AFTER:


"where did the gap go?"





just got the front frop for today.... still need to play with the height....

 

looks soooooo much better, congrats!

 

You have mismatched tires.

 

not me the last owner..... i wanna get them replace but they still have about a good few more months i don't really drive the car a lot though...
but on the better part im dropping the back tomorrow wil get some more pictures up of the whole car

 

Lol. I forgot the in that comment anyway.

Looks good. Any pics of the whole car? And change your avi!

 

Improved.
