Got Ksports In

After having the kit sitting around for 4 months I finally had the time to put them in. At the moment I'm not exactly thrilled with the setup but that's cause my alignment is so off the car drives like crap. After monday I'll be able to give a more informed review.

Tell the weatherman it's April and the forecast calls for no more snow! LOL

Glad to hear they're in! Update once you get the chance to actually "test" them out!

Only dropped it about an inch and a half all the way round. I'm not worried about the ride, I'm worried about the steering. At the moment it's way less responsive than stock.

I dunno how it would handle with those tires but my cars handling is awsome. Hopefully an allignment for you will fix it. the drop looks good. very mild but good.

I'm pretty sure it's the alignment.

I talked to tech support from Ksport on AIM and told them about the thud noise. as with other members here they are sending me the rings to fix the issue. you may want to get this ball rolling soon Nick.

Yeah I'll email them tonight, the noise isn't a big deal but it's kind of embarrassing.

I've decided to put off the turbo install and instead get rims and tires first. It seems kind of silly to drive around on bald all-season tires, especially with coilovers and a turbo. My brakes also need replacing so I'll do that at the same time.

Yeah. the noise doesnt bother me but I was backing up in a parking lot when it made the thud and a guy walking turned and looked.

Sounds like a good plan really. Some nice wheels and tires will not only look great but help the performance of the car as well.
