These are the Ksport Kontrol Pro coilovers. Some basic car-specific installation instructions for the coilovers would have been nice, the 4 pages of paper that obviously came from a copy machine instead of a printer did nothing but say what would void the warranty, what each part of the unit does and how to adjust it all.

Overall the parts are good quality and I'm happy with the purchase, seems that you get a lot of bang for your buck considering there are coilover systems out there that cost $2000-5000 and these were under $1000.

The swaybar is Whiteline's 24mm adjustable. I put it on the middle setting for now so I do have some adjustment either way depending on how the car feels. Swaybars make more of a difference in longer corners where there is sustained load so I may have to put it to the next highest setting to get what I want out of it for autocross. Installing the swaybar seemed like it was going good until it came to remounting it. This unit reuses the stock brackets and replaces the bushings with harder ones. The way the stock brackets work is just fine, but the aftermarket bushings just mess that all up. If you do get this swaybar I suggest looking into a different mounting bracket as well.

The car was extremely planted this morning going around the cloverleaf from 694 west to 35W south. The shocks are set to 24 out of 36 stiffness settings (36 being the stiffest), the springs were hand tightened for preload just so there was no slack in them.

I have a Whiteline 26mm front swaybar as well but I may not end up installing it after feeling how it is already. There are two autocrosses this coming weekend, a short tight course at Midway Stadium and then a rather wide open course at DCTC with Corvettes of Minnesota, so that will definitely give me a good read across the board.

Big thanks to Chris at Modern Automotive Performance for getting me these parts in good time and at a great price!
