haha, the rear shocks aren't adjustable, which is the only downside to the K-sports in my opinion. im getting the setup tuned and cross-leveled on friday, so it should be all good. ill def. post pics after that!

Looks good, When are you guys getting together. I want to see how the Ark Coilovers I have on my car make the car look next to your. I havent been able to compare the drop to any other balts around here.

80 for the cross level, and 49 for the alignment. make sure you get only a 2 wheel alignment, as the rear isn't adjustable
