Dropped on KSports

I ordered a set of KSport lowering springs for my Balt last fall, and finally got them put in about a week ago, and I have to say I am very impressed. The ride quality isn't really any different than stock. Honestly, I think it takes bumps better. Less "bounce" to it. Just the bound and the rebound, no extra bouncing going on like stock did. And the drop is almost perfect for these Minnesota roads. Maybe an extra quarter inch front and back would have been perfect, but I'm not complaining.

Anyways, I'll have pics up once the dam snow melts(again..).

Great story! Unfortunately, as you know, a lowering thread is worthless without pics

I was hoping for about a quarter inch more all the way around, but I'm not gonna complain for 150 bucks.

It is impossible to powdercoat two tone rims. You will have to paint them if you want two tone, or you could powdercoat and polish the lip for a two tone look

Yeesss! Finally, a bit of originality in the wheel painting department instead of just black.

I believe they are the Gt's. And they are rated for a 1" front drop, and 1.3" rear drop. I don't think there's any issues with the axles. I'll take a look see, but I think it's fine. Actually, the clicking that my axles were making went away :O
