I love your car. Thanks for weighing in.

I personally don't know what the problem is but I think I have it solved. Its not like I am unfamiliar with the car... shakes head.

K-sport website says these are 440 front and 250 rear. WTF!


Anyway to get the rear stiffer? Lol

The rear struts are set at about half way now. That really helped make it less bouncy as they were at full stiff on all 4 corners when I got it. I raised the rear up this morning but its still pretty low. Rides nice for such a stiff setup. Also my trunk is full of junk so that's part of it.

Its just not right for a guy my age... The only thing I want to do is take the preload off the front a little and then its set. You'll prob want to take it 1cm lower up front.

Its definitely 100 times easier to set these things up when they are bnib and haven't been installed yet. After a few years they will want to bind up and adjustment on car is a huge pain.

Finished. Pulled the preload off the front mostly and all the bounce is gone.

It rides ok but I had to 'trick' some camber out of the rear to get my ginormous 17x7s to fit w/o rubbing. So now its rocking positive camber. All the weight and none of the contact. Awesome.

Ride is way too firm for daily I don't know what they were thinking putting 440s up front. If you order Ksports try to get them to give you custom rates... not sure what to recommend. As noted in my links the high rate is to mask the lack of travel in the strut bodies.
