Let us know how they work out. I am wondering how they handle since K-sport does not valve the shocks for certain spring rates.

will do. are you looking for custom spring rates b/c i believe you can contact ksport and they can do custom valving for different applications.

yeah its like christmas all over again. the brakes were a necessity b/c the rotors were done, and the suspension was too good of a deal to pass up.

I have JIC coilovers. JIC was a bunch of dicks with the group buy that we organized, so they sent over half of us the wrong spring rates. I asked for 7K front 6K rear, and they sent me 6K/4K! Hopefully I will be buying some 6K rear springs this spring/summer.

yeah i got 7/6. the standard for this buy was 7/5. ksport says that you can change the spring rate +or-2k without having to revalve the dampeners.

it might be the pics because i measured from fender to the ground all the way around and all four corners were within 3/16 of an inch to each other.

agreed, the rear end seems to sag a bit but its probably just the pics or the way the car was designed.
