So I'd be safe lowering them all the way then taking both rings out in the front and leaving the rear ring in?

That's what I like to hear. Now that I think about it, I don't even know how to take out my lock rings in the front. Anyone know how to remove the front locking rings on Ksport coils?

you spin the perch off of the bottom of the coilover, remove a ring and thread the perch all the way back up. problem is? nothing really holding the bottom of the coilover together. lol it doesn't move though

I thought about it, but I run winters as well, which means I need a new winter set of wheels as well then .
He was a 4x100 before he swapped.

I'm gunna have to follow the progress and see how it works. I hated that I could only get the front so low before it got too bad even with the ZZP "lowered car" mounts. I want the pedders coils but not until I know the bind is gone for good.

Not really feeling this ride at all. Looked better with the Varrstoens, but still not very aggressive. Lots of people on this guy's dick for no good reason. But it seems like there's lots of people's cars that get that. Not really pushing the envelope. Just my opinion.
not all of us want our wheels sticking out 3 feet from the car. we prefer flush
