i always wondered if these bolted up to the 03-05 wth no modification, or do you have to drill the hole out to 16mm like almost every other suspension setup since must are made off of the 01 suspension.

damn that's a nice *** discount, if it weren't for the jackass police over in cali I would probably move over there but I like being able to do anything I want to my car and not have to worry about emission testing. That, and cheaper gas, is probably one of the only good things about living in the southeast US.

I have k-sports on my car right now. I have only 1 autocross on them but a lot of mountain runs, about 10 runs on deals gap alone. I would say that they are a good setup. The rear springs are a little soft at 7KG, but the valving makes up for it. The install was easy too. Only hangup i had was i had to buy a tie rod seperator. That was it. I got mine from a guy on hondatech who works ar jlb motorsport. New it was 775 shipped. Im going to another autocross this weekend and one of my friends is going to co drive so after this weekend im going to have a better idea of how it handles. I still have a little tire pressure fine tuning to do.

It is a bolt on. If you ever change the front struts you need to take the tie rod out of the stock one. Since it is a press fit you need the seperator. you might be able to get away with in on a koni setup since it is only a insert.

i have the k sports and i love them. they are awesome. really stiff or you can make them so you have a comfortable ride. i really like them. my buddy has the megans and he says they make a lot of noise. mine bolted on with no motification at all. they were really easy to install.

So are coilvovers more susceptible to blowing compared to let's say HP blue in regards to street driving?

you dont need a tie rod separator...all u need is a 3lb mini sledge hammer... all u do is hit the arm where the tie rod is in after u undo the bolt and hit it hard a few times with the hammer and the tie rod will come out without damaging the grease boot or the ball joint...trust me it takes me 35 mins to do a civic suspension install

That is a way to do it, but if it is pressed in well and the car isn't farily new it won't come out that way. Just get the seperator if you want to do it right, and also there are seperators that don't break the boot, the non-fork ones. Also if you use a hammer on the rod end you can mess up the threads if you hit it wrong, then you are looking at bigger problems. I know a few prople who have done this.

I have the ksport kit. I think I was the first member on this board to get them. They are great coilovers..I've had them for almost 2 years now still going strong. Good quality and good factory support.
