Thank you, I am sure I will be pleased with the threads I have read about these coilovers and only 1k mileage and 300 off is a nice bonus

What's wrong with it? Just not going down all the way? Are the shocks bottomed out?

No its not thankfully but it doesnt have much more height adjustment. My issue is the height of my tire I have a 45 in the rear when it should be a 40

Yea, those tires are way too huge for the coilover set-up, time for a new set. I don't remember your wheel specs Kyle, can you give me a refresher on the size & offset?

That looks good, in my opinion as I'm a fan of beefy tires. What kind of wheels are those?

The fact that the rear shocks don't extend as far as KSport is a large factor why I personally wouldn't get them. But that's me. I'd rather the shock bottom out, than the lip of my wheel tagging my fenders.

May have to roll your fenders. Depending on how much they hit, you could even possibly trim the lip a little. If you need any aide, let me know and I can walk you through the process. Tell you where to cut.

Yea I will be taking it down as there almost done on tire life. The rears are 245/45/18. Cioncide what do you think about doing a 235/40 for my next setup? Or should I stick with 245/40?

Oddly enough I don't rub at all in the rear. When I reduce my tire ratio it will help a lot.
