Default anyone have the ksport lowering springs installed???

i bought some about a week ago and havent gotten around to installing them(or the right tools to do it for that matter). i havent heard anything about these springs on the tcs except that its about 2 inch drop in the front and around 1.74 i think in the rear and the spring rate is supposed to be close to that of the s- techs. but i would like to hear from someone with these springs installed before i go installing something i then won't be able to return.

thanks for any info in advance,
anthony

i was thinkin about the teins but im impatient and didnt want to order them online, so i bought the ksports because the guy a bought them from (kenny at apex motorsports of tempe, great guy), had them in stock and said they compete with the teins but he didnt have the teins in stock and they were 30-40 dollars more, so i bought the ksports.
im also getting 19s this month so i figured better be safe then sorry with a little less drop.
anyone know if ill rub running 19" +45 with 225/35s on a 2" drop??

I read that the K-Sport's are progressive springs and feel like stock when driving normally than become stiffer once you push them harder. That's what I read, can't claim that it is true though.

Throw some pictures up when you get the springs installed. I'm trying to decide on a kit and I haven't seen the ksports yet.
