Install is a cakewalk. Never done anything more than change brakes, etc before i installed mine and i had it done in less than 4 hrs. I did have air tools though so that helped.

I got an alignment after installing my Ksports, it was deffinately off. Still waiting for the front/rear to level out. I still hear an odd noise, like a rattle, might be stock shocks, I dunno. Everything is bolted tight and it handles better. For the price I have no complaints. I've scraped the exhaust over some big speed bumps, I would be scared to have 4 people in my car and going over a speed bump lol.

the rattle should go away after awhile of having them on.

the only adjustment im think that it would affect is camber so its not like it would be pulling off extreme to one side or something

Update: The odd noise coming from the back of my car was because I installed the springs upside down...

K Sport is definately not a knock off...better do some research buddy Ever seen the K Sport Time trial ITR? But anyways, it looks good on your 2.2L
