Install is a cakewalk. Never done anything more than change brakes, etc before i installed mine and i had it done in less than 4 hrs. I did have air tools though so that helped.

I got an alignment after installing my Ksports, it was deffinately off. Still waiting for the front/rear to level out. I still hear an odd noise, like a rattle, might be stock shocks, I dunno. Everything is bolted tight and it handles better. For the price I have no complaints. I've scraped the exhaust over some big speed bumps, I would be scared to have 4 people in my car and going over a speed bump lol.

the only adjustment im think that it would affect is camber so its not like it would be pulling off extreme to one side or something

Update: The odd noise coming from the back of my car was because I installed the springs upside down...

K Sport is definately not a knock off...better do some research buddy Ever seen the K Sport Time trial ITR? But anyways, it looks good on your 2.2L
