I installed my KSports today and have a couple of questions I hope ya'll can help me with. The fronts are fine and level but the Left rear I can't seem to get right the tire is almost tucked in the fenderwell. The coilovers are set to the same lenght so any ideas on what to look at? One more Question what is the minimum tread you would want to leave in the lower mount? I have about 1" of tread to get the height I have is that to little or what is the minimum (on the rear)?Sorry for so many questions. I searched but could not find an answer.

Thanks, Johnny

I had the same problems with them not dropping the same heights. What I did was bust out a tape measure and measure from the bottom of the wheel to the center of the fenderwell. I then adjusted till they were as close as I could get them. My coilovers are D2s btw.

If you are really anal, you could add in a digital caliper and measure everything .

Did you line them up before putting it in? Do you have the same spring load on both shocks? How much of a difference?

If you lined them up prior to puttin in & no load/same load - then your car is either one side heavy, or one side has really bad bushings that aren't holding together.
