liking the start of this

rear springs and perch. All collars in place, threaded down.

rear struts. bodies are fully threaded down

compared to stock

quickly decided I wasn't low enough (about 15 min) so I spun down the fronts

all locking collars are still in place. 0 threads left

after a short drive

should be able to get about another inch on the fronts if I remove all of the locking collars. and roughly an inch in the rear if I pull the perches.

dampening is set to:

31/36 > FRONT
36/36 > REAR

very nice firm ride so far. Waiting for them to settle some more

 

[MechEngg]

Ummmm dont take out the top locking collar on the fronts...............your spring will not sit correctly without it

 

[joelheinen]

damn....new ksports don't get low.

 

[97audia4]

im surprised as shizznit that those k sports all the way down arent low really at all, but with that saftey perch out you will be able to get another inch or so out of that. I would say try making the front a little softer because it will keep the bounceyness down

 

[.weber.]

^^ yup. seems that way. I hope they settle a bit more, but the ride is great.

I had the fronts at 26/36 and was bouncier than it is now. Maybe I'll try even softer than that

 

[Peetah05]

I'd go stiff as you can, so when you lower it even more, your car wont have as much movement and less chance of hitting your pan/control arms.

not too worried about my pan or CAs

I have a hybrid pan going on next weekend and a skid plate is on the list

 

[JDM-JTI]

23.5 in the front all the way down? thats it? .. lets see some wide shots
