Alright, I just got my coilovers installed, but there's no mounting brackets for the brake line/ABS TCS wire. Where's everyone putting these? I have mine zip-tied to the coilovers themselves, but want something more secure. I'm thinking about cutting off the factory piece from the OEM struts, and having a friend weld that to the sway bar mount. Should work.

Also, for curiosity's sake... what settings on the dampening is everyone running? I'm currently at 15 hard in front and 5 hard in the rear. I started full soft and decided I needed it a little harder. (That's what she said)

Thanks everyone!

 

The kit should come with some DIY brackets to mount your brake line to. http://www.ksportusa.com/edocs/Coilo...structions.pdf
I think its the third page that tells you more or less how to mount it

 

The brake brackets are in the box, as u can tell both are there because I didn't know how to set them up either. I actually just zip tied them to the strut, but not where it would get pinched or anything like that. From what I found out, the brake brackets are very bendable so when u install it, you bend it as close to the strut so it has enough slack.

 

Yep, brackets there just no "o-rings". I'll have to play around with them more. I don't like the idea of having to use something that bendable to keep things away from my wheels. Lol!
Everything's ziptied for me, as well.
Thanks again!

 

Lets see some pics. What kind of height settings are you going with. My ksports just came in the mail so I should have em on by the end of the day.

 

That's where I'm sitting right now. I need to roll the rear fenders a little bit and figure out what to do with the front bumper. I'm hitting on the front edge under the fender. Need to do some reorganizing.

 

I just put mine on. It's making a clunk in the left front. I gotta figure out the camber adjustment.

 

thats looks nice !

 

Hell yes! Did you use the cheap-o brake relocation bracket they sent?

 

Nope. I just zip tied it for now...I might put them on there or make something else, they look a lil cheap. And why does Ksport even give instructions? They were not very good. At least it was a pretty straight forward install. What are your wheel specs? And did you adjust the camber up front. I'm 18x8et35 and right now I'm rubbing. I'll take some more pics after I make adjustments tonight.

NVM just saw ur on the TRD wheels.

 

Yep, TRD wheels for now. 19x8 et48mm. I've been looking into other wheels. Need less offset and more wide.

 

And to have your fenders NEEKified.

 

Not quite. Hopefully not. Rolling fenders is slightly tricky. I did 2 2nd gens this weekend. Ended up creasing the fender just a little by the rear bumper. Rolled one of my fenders, and no crease. Rear tires hit the lip where it gets wider towards the bottom of the door.
I need to do a bit of work up front. I think I broke one of the brackets that the bumper clips into.

 

Are you using an Eastwood fender roller, or one of the Dragway cheapies?

BTW, ride looks great that low, but nothing I could tolerate for a daily driver on ishty Cali roads.

 

It actually rides really well. I like the ride better than the OEM struts with Hotchkis springs. My front Hotchkis springs are actually cracked, vertically, on the bottom. One phone call to them and they're sending out new springs. Good people.

And I purchased the Powered By Max fender roller. Works well, but I feel the Eastwood is slightly better built.

 

They do ride decent. Let me know how that roller works out for you. I think I'm gunna need it before I can go any lower.





crappy iPhone pics but they'll do.

 

do you lose the front fender liner when you roll the fronts? or can they still be rolled and have the liners intact?

 

The roller works pretty well. I like it. A little spendy, but I'm trying to make my money back by rolling other people's fenders!

I think you can still keep it intact. You'll have to move the plastic from the outside of the lip, to the inside. I know miketf1 has his fronts rolled and said he retained the liners.
I'm going to roll my buddy's fronts soon. I'll report back and let everyone know how it went.

*edit*
Liners may have to be trimmed, but I'm not sure. I'll have to do more research when I get home.

 

Car looks good man, glad to see them put to good use.

 

Thanks! I'm actually really glad I got these. They feel great with the Hotchkis sways. I just need to dial everything in.

And get more aggressive wheels.
