Hey everyone! I want to say thanks to Michael @ Acute Performance for getting the Avant Garde M310 wheels, Hankook tires, & KSport coilover kit!! Also thanks to Garry Romani for matte black shadowline trim. I finally had some time to take a few pics but it rained today so no chance to wash the car.

So far I like the KSports but they are a bit bouncy. I will try to adjust them when I get back next month. Rear might need a raise b/c of passengers weight but we'll see. I do feel more of the road imperfections but I expected that since I was going for sporty look. I haven't done a lot of spirited driving yet since I'm still letting everything settle in.

Those who have KSport coilovers, how many miles did it take for your kit to settle?

Thanks for looking!

Thanks! 19s. Would love 20s but can't fit it in my budget.

I hear you man, my wife keeps nagging that they're too dark. Although I really wanted gunmetal or something similar so these will have to do for now.

ive had the ksports for bout 2k miles they havent settled at all. i have the setting to 15 clicks from soft. ride is ok just depends on the road quality. on smooth nice road it rides lovely. on choppy ugly roads it does get kinda brutal. the cost of being low tho

Just tell your wife it looks cleaner in black than covered in brakedust.. even better, Ask her to clean your wheels twice a week as silver wheels look bad
when dirty


BTW.. do I see chrome kidneys? you might consider changing them to fit the wheels.

Thanks fellas! Yea I had to switch back to chrome bc the other set of black kidney grilles are pitted bad. I'll definitely get around to it later.

Inktoxicated, I just noticed you're running 20s, does your tires rub?
