I've sold plenty of sets and members have all left positive feedback.

Just do a search for ksport on this forum.

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
Who did you go to, Southwest Alignment???

I can tell you from experience, they don't settle much at all. Mine settled maybe 1/8 inch after a week of commuting. Good luck, and yes, I agree the softest setting is way too bouncy - mine are 4 clicks from full stiff in the front, 2 in the rear. It's a harder ride than stock sport suspension, but it's where I wanted it, I have absolutely zero body roll - perfect

I got them installed at European Legacy Motors, they are located off 1-10 west. The have had plenty of experience with coilovers so I went with them, and with that price can't beat that. I wasn't sure if Southwest Alignment did coilovers and adjusments and stuff, but for springs they haad told me $400ish. So far I like them, but still kinda feels bouncy at times. I'm not sure if that means I should make them more stiffer or not.
