I have them. They are VERY good. Nice drop, about an inch or so. Makes the car sit more level then the factory look.

They give a very good ride, not very harsh at all. They are a progessive spring, so they load up more when pushed in the corners.

You will certainly enjoy them!!

I would post pictures but I am at work and do not have access to photobucket.

Yup! I will be taking more pics this weekend with the new rims so I will get some good after pics. The before pics I have quite a few from last year with the stock setup. So if you can wait until Friday....then I will have the pics up.

Now remember....mine is on a SS S/C...not the 2.4. So it will look different.

If you are looking for a place to buy them from...check out www.neverenoughauto.com

eh not that much different lol.. lip makes a difference tho, but ill be getting it soon.my thing is if they're lower than stock but not as low as sportlines. i just got new 17s and an inch drop would be fine to me.. especially when i get the lip.

The Ksport is the exact same drop as the Eibach Sportlines. 1" in front, 1.3" in back. (This is for the SS S/C)

A little rougher, but that is normal with drop springs.

When you just do lowering springs, do you have to get it all re-alligned and stuff? On top of the price of the springs, how much extra should I expect to pay to have them installed and set-up?

you can go without it if you are careful and mark things and line up during install, but I would recommend it myself, imo

I would highly recommend getting the alignment looked at when you are done just to make sure that everything is good.

It should take a couple of hours for someone to put them in....and it is not that hard to do yourself.
