K Sport

Springs that are rated 2" drop front/rear.
Would I need to get new struts to use these effectively?
Car has 112k miles on it.
LMK asap before these go off the market because I really want a drop but not a slam like coilovers are meant for. I Just want enough to where 17's will fill the wheel gap or 16's will leave only like a finger of wheel gap.

Re: K Sport

Definitely need new shocks/struts for that drop. Otherwise your stock ones will be blown very quickly. You could have very easily found that answer by searching though...

Re: K Sport

i dont think coilovers were meant for slamming. but some people just want to be too cool. you can adjust them to whatever height you want.

Re: K Sport

2 inches front and rear with 17's is quite significant. I guess it will depend on tire size. I have neuspeed sports rated at a drop of 1.75 front and 1.5 rear and i have 1 finger gap all the way around. I have 17s with a 215/45/17 yokohama ats tire. You may want to rethink a two inch drop. Just my opinion.

Re: K Sport
