so far they look pretty nice to me...and the packaging was also very well done...and im also impressed with the shippin company they use (fedex) because i work for ups i know how badly SOME of us treats the packages....but only a few scratches was on the box...ill also be doin some install pics...now...if someone could give me some advise on how to set them up or how to adjust the dampening would be nice..since this is the first time ill be doin coilovers.... :D

what kinda advice are you looking for?

Height? Alignment? The actual install?

well...basicly dampenin set up where it would most likely be the most nutrual with maybe alittle over steer in mind...and what would be a ideal height for performance wise...and some good alignment specs would be nice...and the car will most likely be more autoX then track...so..just whatever some of u have tried and and think its good....?? :P :)

Oh...it depends
some manufactories in Taiwan SUCK :shock: . But some are great.
As I know, RG(Racing Gear) coilover is famous and reputable in Japan, but maybe few people know that RG coilovers are made in Taiwan 8) .
BTW, Taiwan is still a "small" island,indeed. I just wanna tell you Taiwan is where Im from by the way, nothing special meaning. :wink:
Hope you can enjoy your K-SPORT.

ok...so far...its very comfortable...the settins don have "clicks" but it has 3 1/2 turns lock to lock...right now i have the fronts set at 2 turns and the rears at 1 turn (toward stiff) the height adjustment kinda sucks...just like the helix (grab the threads and turn with all ur might) i cant really say much about the cornerin abilities right now since the alignment is so far off and the TOE is probably way in...which is makin turn in extremly crazy...so i need to raise it back up...get it aligned then sooner or later get a set of pillow tie rod ends so i can get rid of that bump steer

overall....im satisfied for now...or altelast happy that im drivin it again...its been 3 months :shock:

Nice but I'd raise the rear a bit.. it looks like its tucked into the rear fender while the front is level.

I think both your front and rear are too low.

I found the current height I run my evo has worked well. I can measure fender to ground if you wish
