So I bought these ksport coilovers back in October and today I finally got them installed. Shop charged me total $300 and took 3 1/2 hrs to complete. I only got it lowered where there is still a 2 finger gap all around. I'm waiting to see how they settle. I sometimes put 3 people in the back seat with luggage in the trunk. I have the damper settings a couple of clicks stiffer then mid settings. I tried all soft, but felt to bouncy even on smooth highways.

Haha ya it was about time. But last month I had kidney stones. So that pain needed to go first. Ya install went smoothly. I was impressed with the shop. 3 1/2 hrs total time with adjustment. And the guy did it all by himself. Other places all said 7-9 hrs. I kept doing my research and finally came across this shop. The Ksports ride great so far. It's those 19in wheels that are more annoying. I can live with the stiffer ride better performance already.
Of course a special thanks goes to Michael from acuteperformance for selling these

Looks good! When you say it was bouncy at the softest setting, was it softer than stock?
Please post updated pics on this thread when they settle in.

Ya I will post pics after 1 week of settling. I hope they settle. And I came from stock non sport suspension. So even on the softest setting it was stiffer of course then before. As for the bounce it occured on dips and other small bumps. and felt spongy at times too.

Ya I may go lower. But want to see how much it settles if any. And then see how it feels with luggage and people in the back.
