Well here's my LT dropped on CM springs. My Rota's are 15" so some larger wheels would make the drop look better. This is only after 3 days though so hopefully they'll settle some more...

CM springs aren't a spring that drops a lot. It's only 1 inch and 1.5 inch. With 17s or 18s the wheel gap with be small.

15's with a 195-205 tire is small. He could always cut a coil.

Here is my 06 lt, stock vs Ksport gts on stock struts/shocks (excuse the mess under the clear on that one wheel, I need to blast it). Tires are 205/55/16 on stock 16".

Stock front:

Ksport front:

Stock rear:

Ksport rear:

Views: 587
Size:  93.2 KB

Stock center wheel to wheel well was:
14.5 front
15.5 rear

Ksport center wheel to wheel well is:
14 front
13.75 rear

But that was right after I installed them. I'll have to wait a few weeks and post up the settled height. Also, there is no reverse rake on my example, it is fairly even. Although when I upgrade struts and shocks, I'll probably cut a coil off the front.

Thanks, man tell me about it. I knew to expect settling but I've never had to expect 2in of it. Although I've heard this happen with a few people on Ksports. Who knows. We'll see what happens. I'll post updates.

I highly highly recommend them. I'll have to see how they hold up for moisture/the winter however for $108 shipped from eBay I can't complain. Plus light output is the same as stock.

edit: The amber is not as bright as those pics. It looks more like this most of the time

Really? How long before that happened? I guess we'll see if that happens with mine, but they seem pretty nice so far.
