kSport Kontrol Pro Coilovers
 
So, I've had these coils since June and I've been pretty happy with them up until it got cold out. I recently raised my car, and did it properly. The rear struts seem to freeze up and are extremely loud over small bumps. I thought I did it wrong, and I checked them again, and they are correct. Today it's almost 70 out (Welcome to Rochester, NY) and no noise. The rear struts seem to be compressing and expanding just fine.

I heard that Ksport coils tend to seize up during the cold months, is this true? Anything below 60ish seem to be an issue for the coils. I spent almost a grand on these coils, after other reviews for Ksport were generally good. They were a PIA to install, especially the rear the first time.

45 is not bad at night, but like if its 20s all night, its super bad in the morning. I guess you didn't read my post before when I said I didn't have problems with them during the summer. All I did was raise it for the winter.

I understand you installed them correctly, but did you adjust them correctly. Not only do the springs have to be adjusted, but the rear struts have to be adjusted depending on the ride height you settle on.

I'll check them again, and take pictures.

I'll lube them up and see how it is. How does adjusting them going to be affected by the cold? Yesterday, it was really warm. It was 69F out. No issues.
