i definitely will.

I never even heard of ksport up until two weeks ago, while researching coilovers.

I originally planned on doing KYB strut/aftermarket springs but my dad recommended i just go for the coilovers for installation ease (cool dad, huh?) lol.

so i took my KYBs back and got the Ksports. I also considered Skunk2s, Tein Basics, Omni Powers and Koni Yellow Shocks with H&R springs, but surprisingly the ksports won out in the all-too important cost/performance ratio.

I gots mine for less than $600 shipped from JLB Motorsports out of california. Cool owners and sooper dooper prices.

I hadn't heard of them until recently either, but I ended up going with Konis and Ground Controls

the clutch and brake pedals are easy to install according to most of the research i read.

the gas pedal, on the other hand, is going to take about 30 minutes of heavy duty drilling.

but everybody who own a set say they're worth it because of the build quality.

*dad, can i borrow the drill too??*

I seriously considred going for koni yellows with H&R or Tein springs, but a local tuner shop said the konis were a **** to install, so I decided on the ksports.

but all the actual racers on the integra boards swear by koni yellows because of their track performance and rebound/dampening abilities. so I think you made the right choice if you plan on really driving.

plan on? I already do [8D]

hope your install goes well, your bolts should come out more easily than mine did (or didn't, rather). Do you have an appointment for an alignment afterwards?

i just had my alignment done ($70 down the drain, apparently).

I'm hoping the alignment isn't too bad off after I do the 1 inch drop but I'll probably do a quick trip to Pep Boys afterwards anyway.

man, i'm spending money like its water... [:@]

check your receipts, your alignment might be guaranteed for one year.

Assuming the car is still high enough to fit on their lift.
