So today I tackled putting on my suspension stuff. I installed my Ksport coilovers, just the rear suspension techniques sway bar, and the ingals engineering rear control arms, put redline heavy duty shock proof in the 4bolt, and one stainless brake line. yes, one ;) I couldn't get the sway bar endlinks off the old sway bar, and evey place doesnt have them so I can't comment on handling yet. The car is on the second from stiffest dampening setting and its nice and stiff. I put the Ksports at their Highest setting, and to my surprise the car was super low at that height, and just right. And then I remembered what a pain in the ass it is to fill the rear end fluid. Oh, and to top things off I nearly died because one of my brake lines got severed as I was driving home and I couldnt stop at a quickly approaching red light... That was a near death experience haha. The master cylinder was empty, I felt the lines around the car and found that one of the lines somehow got into harms way (i relocated them) and was cut. Luckily, I had a set of stainless lines with, and I limped back and replaced the bad line and bled the brakes quick. Was a full day of stuff, but a good time, and the car looks badass with its new ride height! I am very happy with the Ksports.

Kickass, dude. It's unfortunate that more people don't understand how great it is to have a car that handles well, or at least better than stock. You'll have to give me a ride at the next event so I can feel this suspension.

Wow, thats scary stuff, having your brakes go out like that, I'm glad you were OK. how did you end up getting home?
Anyone know what the off the shelf spring rates are for K-Sports?
