looking like the rear is lower than the front for some odd reason but hopefuly it will settle right i a week or so.

first time Ive seen the ksport springs on, how do they ride? stiff? smooth? handling? worth the money?

I just did my rears yesterday (TRD), real easy the only hang ups I had was the low profile jack I have is too low profile so when I started jacking up the rear it didnt get the tires off the ground. So I moved to the pinch moulding on the side, got it up, slapped a jack stand on one side. Took a second jack, jacked up the shock/spring from the cup. Boom, boom done, I was a little iffy I had to muscle the rear spring out, and I was seeing myself taking a spring to the face for a second.

I made such a newb mistake too, after doing the drivers side I started on the passenger side (duh) and I didnt switch the setting on the ratchet so I took my breaker bar and actually tightened the bolt past factory specs. I got maybe a half turn and realized I'm stupid, got it set right and went to work. I inspected the bolt and didnt notice any stretched threads. I'm still going to buy a replacement, the roads suck up here and thats all I need is the bolt to break while driving.

I might try the fronts next weekend, I have to pick up a longer wrench to get in under the cowl, save some time. Once I get it up in the air and take a good look at it I'll make the call. This would be the first time doing springs for me. So I'm trying to pick my battles.

well i feel they are worth themoney. i like it better than stock,so its a little smoother. handling is ok. but front still hasnt settled in right yet. i have a 3 finger gap in front and 2 finger gap in the rear. if they dont settle evenly im getting df210s. lol.

Thinking about picking these up. With the front being higher, is it extremely noticable?

Looks good! I'm working on getting s-techs this week! I like the rims, they'll look good!

[Phobic]

mt df210s should be going on soon... I might do df fronts and hotchkis rears though. not sure yet.

its noticeable but not extremely. i guess it depends on how you like the look. kinda reminds me of my bagged s10, draggin ass. lol

sounds like a good plan. dont forget to post up pics. im gonna have to do something to lower front more. but dont want to spend money on extra springs or coils as of now.
