One problem, there are no coilovers except KW for the Xi models. The KSPorts are coilovers which work for non-M cars and non-Xi models.

Looks great Jason, now I just need to know how it rides. Is there any rubbing? I want to lower my car now too 
I think I'll have to wait until I get some new tires though, the 285 rears don't allow for much lower

Only on really bad freeway dividers does it feel a bit harsh. But then again the East LA interchange is probably the worst spot in the whole I-5 FWY.

Nice! My coils are built pretty much the same as Ksports and its nice that you can adjust them in like 15-30 minutes. Loving the ride height Toyota2bmw 
. I adjusted my coils by just turning the rear coils like the front but I wasn't sure if they were supposed to do that. Now I have confirmation that it's a-ok 
.
Now throw some spacers on there and give it a rip-roaring cut-throat stance!
And for those who want to DIY on coilovers, its more than feasible to do in 5-7 hours alone. Technically, there's a total of 16 bolts or so you have to remove although some are more challenging to remove than others. But still, totally worth saving the $200+ a shop charges to do it (and most do it half-assedly).

I will stance it out aggressively once I get 235/35 on the fronts.
