I got ksports also.. My front is extremely slammed but the rear is 1 finger.. What i did to get it down really low is to have me(150lbs) + friend(200lbs.) jump up and down on the rear. it went from 2 finger to one. =]

same here. I'm think i may just get mine modded. can't cost that much to cut and weld the piece at the end of the perch to the coilover.

Hey guys! I just learned a way we could all do it! First, raise the rear. Take off the lower mount on the rear coilover. Then, take off the ring closest to the bottom. Then, put the lower mount back on, and twist it all the way to the top til it won't go anymore. If there is still space between the spring perch and the lower mount, lower the perch to a very close distance of the lower mount. Then, tighten the spring perches and attack the lower mount on to the car. It should be a bit lower.

how are these coilovers on the comfort side? Any bit of harsh or too much feeling in the bumps? Thanks!

I had these coilover installed for about two weeks ago. The ride is harsh. I admit the coilover system is pretty stiff and the overall handling had improved. Going through bumps on the road feels a little rough and make the car seems like it is about to fall apart. I set my dumpening set 1 & 1/2 turn from the stiffest setup. I have TRD sway bar with these coilover. Cornering is better, but I still have some body roll. So, correct me if I'm wrong, I planned to buy a rear strut bar to reduce the body roll.

Hope this help you out. But consider the price that I was offer for these coilover, I decided to buy Ksport over others. Paid 775 shipped.

Do you remember how many turns from the stiffest setting is your dampening set to?

was this ever figured out? A local has a set of ksports up for sale, and i'd love to pick them up..... but if they're not going to allow me to go lower than my stech's in the back, well... i think i'll just pass on these.
