As long as you heat them up properly you wont have any problems.

They said they don't because of the high possibility of messing up the paint. Plus doing it myself would be free.

It's not hard, just make sure your fenders are heated up. Zach did all four of mine in about 2 hours I believe.

I love mcm. I hardly ever go on their forums though.

Rick, how hot should they be? Too hot to touch or what?

rolling the fenders sounds more difficult than it is. You want the fenders heated hot enough so they will roll properly but not hot enough to burn your hand. if you have a rubber mallet use it, it helps to shape the metal easier. Make sure you roll far enough down the fender wells so that if your really slam the car or hit a bump it wont cut the tire.

alright ladies and gents. Ksport doesn't make replacement rear springs. i need to stiffen this puppy up so i'll probably sell the rears and get another brand that makes replacement springs. unless you guys think another brand of spring will fit in the rear of my ksports.

so what brands make taller/stiffer springs to replace their "oem" ones in the kit. and is it a seperate spring and strut assembly in the rear.
