did the install yesterday/night... had a heck of time setting up the coilovers so they wouldnt rub with my 19s but i think i got it... how many xBs have u seen like this? oh and let me know what ya think.. ne body kno how to adjust and fine tune these?



ill get some daytime pix soon

 

i got k-sports coilovers.

they... ok. my rears pop and now my fronts are pop.

so they all leaking oil.

but other then that they ride looks sick on them.

 

that stinks man.. i hope mine last for a while.. are your fronts set at neg camber?

 

have to check, dont remember.

but im pretty sure they are.

and yeah it does suck when they blow. but good thing ksport down the street, its just finding time to take them off and get new shocks for them that i cant do.

 

Nice! Can't wait to see the day pics.
I have mine set at max neg camber (which really is not all that much). Also, my dampening is set to softest. Let us know how they ride.

 

they actually ride really smooth... i had the 2" goldlines and i think blown shocks on be4 and after comparing the ride quality, the ksports are alot better...

questiong about the neg camber... to adjust.. do i need to jack up the front end? or can i just adjust the settings while the car is on the ground? ill get some day pix up here after i get out of class..

 

I'm not sure about adjusting the camber while the car is on the ground, it might work. I know that once you loosen the bolts on the top hat, the strut moves fairly easily (with the tires off the ground).

 

looks very good can't wait for the day time shots, i've got Teins on mine with 19" Racing Heart CR's the lowest i can go without rubbing is 2.2" down for the front and 2.2" in the back now i have -3 camber i had to lift mine about 1" to make it without rubbing.

 

well good news is, i managed to get some daytime shots.... bad news... im at work right now and wont be able to post up until later tonight... ill get some on when i get home..

and for the rubbing issue... its not really too bad.. really what you expect for tucking 19's on coilovers... but the front rubs under some sharp bumps and hard turning, i took out the screws holding the fender liner in place be4 they could have a chance to do some damage to the tire...

and in front im running as much camber as i can get, which helped out alot with clearance, and im going to order some camber shims tomorrow to take care out back... with the rear setup, i should be able to tuck no problem.. thats because i already rolled my fenders... well see how things go

 

if you have a chance sometime... do you think you could get a tape measure, and measue from the ground to the bottom of the fender? my measurements range from 22" to 25" i have to lift it up and set the coils even all around.. i just want something to compare.. and since your running 19s like me, this would be perfect...

 

sorry it took so long.. classes this week were crazy... as promised here are some daytime pix... sorry for the camera phone quality..

 

Wow! Looks great! What did you end up setting the dampening on?

 

im still playing around with settings on it... in the rear i set all the way hard, and three clicks soft from that point... the front is about the same... im still playing around with diff dampening adjustments.. im suprised how well built these are.. and they match my car pretty perfect...

 

yeah i have ksports on my bop xb, they handle and ride great. but i get alot, alot alot of popping noises coming from the fronts. it drives me crazy when im driving in a 25mph zone and the roads are crappy, they pop and creak like crazy. im going to take them out soon and check and recheck the coilovers and all the suspension components to make sure nothing is loose, but heres acouple pics to show you how i ride:
with 18s


with 15s:

 

and have about three threads in the back left, and the front probably has an inch or more. i think its a pretty decent dump, and i plan to drop the front just a touch more so its level, currently the back is alittle lower

 

dam i want my box that low!!!

how much and where can i get them ksport coilovers??

 

Hey Tasty, I'm having the same popping noise sounds, but I think I found the problem. It seems what happens is that the adjustable perches that hold the spring up(on the front strut) start to loosen. The more they loosen, the worse the sound gets. I re-tightened the perches and that seemed to solve the noise issue up front.

Lately, the sound is coming back, so I'm afriad I did not tighten them enough, so this time I am going to really snug the perches up on the spring and take a hammer to lock them in.

By the way, very nice ride.

 

what are the ksports running again? 600?

 

i got my ksports brand new from like $900, i think. yeah ive actually gone through and tightened everything up twice now, and it does seem to help for alittle while. im just gonna have to keep playing with it.

thanks for the comments. yeah i ride pretty low, but the fenders are rolled completely flat and i still manage to rub down to the bare metal, and the fronts have worn holes in the plastics, but oh well, i guess there is a price to pay to roll dumped.

i always say, "if sparks don't fly, you ride to high!"

 

that looks pretty sick!
