Just got my coilover installed yesterday and now letting everything settle in before the final adjustments and allignment. Can you guys tell me the damper setting you have on your KSports? Thanks.

nice where did you have it done at?

also for our roads out here a softer setting will probably be better for you

I had it done at VTR out in Everett which is nearby where I live. I almost went to your shop but my schedule just wouldn't allow it because of the distance.

I agree about our roads here. Right now I have it set close to the mid but on the stiffer end. I'll have to ride longer to see how to adjust. Just want to get others opinions.

Luv your ride by the way!

thanks man and Ksport springs run a little stiff so most other owners set it to a softer setting and they love the ride

I actually followed pjinca's settings....VTR only charged me $350 + tax. They did a pretty good job (so far) and they were very nice.

I think so too...but then again, this is the first time I'm dealing with them so I was a little hesitant, coz you know sometimes you get what you pay for. Like what I said, so far so good and they were nice people. I spoke with other places like CarNutz, and a couple in Redmond...but given the distance I chose the closest.
