Good job, I like the way the rims contrast with the blue. It looks good.

Is your daily driver height on the coilover 4f and 3r? Any rubbing?

Nice and LOW!!!! I like it!
As for the gas, Valero...Arco...Chevron...Exxon... at least it's not Citgo! Citgo is run by that American-hating idiot, Hugo Chavez in Venezuela. Don't get gas at Citgo!

Fronts low enough. Lower the back. Once you get friends in it, your gonna be scraping if you have to take an offramp at 35 or more. You should have gone for slightly less tire in the front. Woulda been dope. Hooray for cheap wheels.

So how much lower could you go front and rear, given no wheel interference problems?

Does K Sport offer replacement springs with different rates like D2 does?

Oh, and where did you pick yours up at? Best price I have seen is just under $900 shipped.

given no wheel interference the front could go so low as to put the front lip like 4 inches or so under the ground


I paid 990 after shipping and tax from scs on ebay.

the rear is at it's lower with both adjusters still there. i think i'm going to remove one of the adjusters to gain another .5 inch drop or so
