The drop is fantastic.. Let me test drive your car. If it doesn't make noise and ride quality is good I might sell my megans, so I can go slightly lower.
Don't get me wrong, I love my megan's, rides super smooth. Just might want the opportunity to go lower then what I am, when I feel like it lol.

Edit: Nvm. Your fronts are low as mine. But still wanna check it out lol

Nice man. You mean 22lbs not 22kg for the spring rate, right? I think 22lbs comes out to like 9kg which is what Ksport offers I think.

It looks as if you have positive camber in the front.

Haha no rush buddy.

But really your car looks fantastic!

I think that the front might actually have no or negative camber judging by the last pic. In the first pic a little bit of caster coupled with the optical comparison to the rear wheel does make the fronts look positive though.

Have you had an alignment?

Who was it that had to take off their bumper to get a on a flat-bed tow truck?

Even with a 1 finger gap, there are speed-bumps that I can't take. The nasty trapezoidal ones are the worst. No matter how slow you go or what angle you take, you're going to scrape your car. I even got stuck on a driveway once, where there's this nasty hump right before you get to the street. As soon as I cleared what I thought was the worst part, the road literally dropped out from under my front tires and I was perched on my y-pipe. Oww!!! I couldn't move forward or backwards without scraping. I managed to get out with little damage. Very lucky.

Please someone confirm if these coilovers are close to stock settings (whatever that means lol)!!

To OP, how close to stock do they ride in the reg semi-maintained/semicrappy roads?

What if you were to raise both front and back to around eibach's height (1.4 front/1.0 back)?

Raising them a little lower than eibachs but not totally slammed??

How ksports hold up as daily drivers at the above specs? (I live in NJ, but skeptical on coilovers...leaning more towards springs)

Honestly, the rise Isn't as bad as I expected. It's not too bumpy, but don't Get Me wrong, it's still bumpy lol. My prokit rode like OEM Suspiension, I loved the quick drop buT I needed more. But I messed with the settings alOt to make them ride stiff and smooth as possible. All in all, I don't regret my Decision, but can't go ovEr speed bumps anymore lol

I believe the only coilovers that are close to stock settings are the Teins and they don't go as low as most other coilovers. If ride quality is an issue for you then stick to springs, because no matter how you adjust your coils it'll still be worse than stock suspension. I'm in NJ too and driving around with coilovers is not that bad.

^^ true true, just depends on what you want. If you wanna be slammed then get coils. If you want just a slight drop and good ride quality then get springs

Then the ride would be smoother than the coilovers' ride quality at their factory heights. But there is no guarantee that they won't be bumpy. If ride quality is an issue than go with Tein or stick with springs like aphu said.
