I just installed a set of K Sports on my car, and although I've only put 25 miles on it or so, I think it made a world of differnce. No cutting, just bolt and go!

Keep us posted, I'm interested in these. Can you select different spring rates? I assume you are on the softest setting?

My dealer told me you can change spring rates for roughly $50 when you order the coil overs, or you can buy them later for $50 each... I decided to go with what they came with. The rears are sleeved down, and looks like they would work on an AWD rear end (if you removed the sleeves). I haven't adjusted them at all, other than the install/height. I know they are not on the softest or hardest, because I checked one of them to see if it would adjust either way, then I just put it back the way it was. I probably should put them on all the way soft, then see how I like it as I adjust them up. Either way, I also did SuperPro bushings up front and Yoshi Fab sway bars at the same time, so I'm sure that helped as well.

So it's not too rough? I'm a little worried because I heard they were but the feedback I got wasn't very detailed. I don't want to rock a kidney belt in a street car.

edit: It would be for my fwd stock turbo car.

I dont have them down all the way, and its as low as I want it. There isn't much to show in a picture of them, they look like any other coil over... There is a pictrue of them in my Rally Dixie Thread.
