K-Sport makes several models of coilovers for our cars as well. In fact, I believe the CA coilovers are manufactured by K-Sport as well.

I just installed my ksports, the front is higher on mine as well. Does your suspension make noise? The end cap pieces for the rear springs fit real tight in the stock springs, on the ksports one end is quite a bit loose, is this an issue or normal?

My Tenzo's were the same way. Took alot of pulling to get them off the stockers but when you install them on the aftermarket springs then they are really loose. Not a big problem...or at least it hasnt been for me

im interested in these, but from what im reading maybe im not. stuff is loose and doesnt fit well??? and whats good enough? cuz where i drive is not the flattest of roads, so how is it compared to stock? is it like super noticable? or only over big bumps? when u see this jus go for a ride on smooth road, medium road, and **** road and then come back and write exactly how it made u feel about them and the quality. lol.


oh and how hard were they to install?

i live in a ghetto ass suburb in ohio with some real shitty roads and it really isnt that bad. and they werent very hard to install, it took me and 2 friends about 2 and a half hours.

yes my suspension does make noise but not a whole lot. it actually starts to make less noise after youve driven on it awhile. mine seemed like it all fit well.

it bounces a little bit and you can feel bumps much easier but that is common for all lowering springs.
