So figure this is a decent place to ask coilover questions lol. There are some Ksports local with 4k miles for $600. Seems like a steal. Are they a form>function kind of deal though? I have pedders with the stock tc fe5 shocks and struts, how would ksports effect my handling? Not planning on slamming it. My driveway aint about dat hella flush life... lol

 

It depends completely on how they're setup. When I bought my used Ksports, they were adjusted horribly and it rode like garbage and handled like garbage. Now that they're adjusted properly, it rides only a little firmer than stock and handles very well.

 

So how bad do some of your guys rub? I'm lowered on Megan's with about one finger of wheel gap and I've got rub marks on my inner fender on the metal.

 

I rub the same as you. I'm on Megan Ez Coils. Maxed out with rear locking rings removed. Need to lift the front up a tad so I don't rub the fronts every time I hit a bump.

 

Anyone running a rear sway bar with their coilovers? Notice any difference?

 

Looking for opinions on the new stance that are revalved with 9k spring rates.

 

I have them, no complaints.

 

car turns now

 

So it helps out quite a bit? Also do you auto x your car or just daily driver

 

i have the hardcore bar and it helps out nicely. I mean it turned good with the coils at the little go kart track. Before my current wheel setup.

Just DD right now and it feel solid in the turns with the rear sway sway

 

On phone at work so if its been awnsered judt don't reply hahabor maybe link me the thread.

I have bc coilovers, can't figure out best setup with height and the dampening etc. Doesnt ride to bad right now, pretty low. Just wondering if there's anything I should look for or adjust.

 

K Sport Control Pro, Added drag bags to soften the "crashing" in the rear.

 

That looks good burnt. I have a black hhr ss and just got a set of bc coilovers and plan on being around that height soon, maybe a little more rake.

 

How harsh are the 9k spring rates? Do you DD your car?

 

BC coilovers

 

Looks good. Wish I would have went bc

 

They're stiff, but not too stiff. I like them a lot, but with an aggressive fitment, it's necessary

 

Do you have the lock rings in the back

 

Um I'm pretty sure. Still have room in front and rear to drop.

 

How much clearance is there between the road and the bottom of your sway bar? I feel like mine doesn't have much clearance. Also have you ever scrapped your bar on the ground?

 

Cornhusker, I am not sure how low his car is, but this is the clearance on my sedan with all lock rings in and about a 1/2 inch adjustment left on k-sports. There is about 4-4.5in of clearance and I haven't hit it yet. My exhaust is a wee bit lower than the bar, so it have a bit of pre-warning. Don't mind the filthy car, winter sucks lol.

 

kind of like the other good sir said, my catback hangs lower and that what hits first on speed bumps sometimes.
sway bar never hits, im not sure about the height from ground to the bar

 

Thanks for the replies. Maybe I'm just paranoid lol. Also if I'm thinking correctly shouldn't the distance with the bar installed from the bar to the ground be the same if you were lowered 3" or if you were at stock height? Cause you are lowering the car and not the rear axle

 

Also I'm running Megan EZ coilovers maxed out with locking rings removed in the back. So I'm sure I'm maybe just as low or maybe a bit higher than you dmstk8d1

 

Yes and if the wheel go over a bump the sway bar goes up and over with them. You would have to run something over that the wheels didn't run over to hit the sway bar.
