Yeah, out of place b/c I m not mechanically inclined to lend a hand, but weren't out of place at all once I found your corona stash
Jason, your review is resonating more and more interest. I'd always love the benefits of a quality lowering suspension system. The drop is the best mod IMHO if you dont mind the anticipation and slowing down for every for any dips and bumps in city driving to avoid nose rubbing :thumbsdown: . This would be my first mod if I can drive wildly without scrapping the front bumper...maybe it's a person driving preference. Let's see:
Pros:
Aggressive look
Better ride
Better handling
Better cornering
Cons:
Adjust driving style to avoid bumper damages
Well, cost associated too
Any other pros and cons guys?

Looks amazing!
Dumb question here, you said you had to adjust the ride height a little. Can this be done in the driveway? Or does this require lifting the car?
Also, ride quality is good too? My biggest concern is that I drive to/from Florida and Virginia every once in a while. Will the Ksports be manageable, comfort-wise, on this 12 hour drive?
Thanks a bunch.

Adjusting height will require a floor jack and a drive-way if you got it.
I just did it this afternoon. Took me 30 minutes to do the passenger side front and rear.
step 1. loosen lug nuts
step 2. lift the car with a floor jack or the jack that comes with our cars
step 3. loosen lock nuts, adjust ride height by turning the shaft of the shock clockwise to lower and counter clockwise to raise
step 4. tighten lock nuts after desired height is achieved
step 5. put the wheel back and lower the car. you are DONE!!!
comfort level is excellent.
