Drew, your cart looks fantastic. One super-cheap cosmetic mod would really look great on your color combo IMHO - my famous justa side scuttle swap:





I picked up my pair for $15 on Ebay and they take 5 seconds each to swap.

Installed H&R Springs over the weekend which wasn't too bad other than sheering off the head of a rear upper bolt =(. Baby is in the shop now after many hours of failed drilling/easy out attempts.

Cruddy quality phone pic (can upload better shots if desired):

KSport coilovers?

Is anyone here on Ksport kontrol pro's? I had the vmaxx coilovers on my clubbie but
#1 they were squeeky like an old spring bed (not sure if that if that was from the sway bar bushings squeeking due to not using drop links in the front?)
#2 they had no front camber adjustment.
#3 i feel like the the springs were too soft.
#4 you had to take apart your front struts so you could reuse stock parts
#5 vmaxx did not come with front drop links.

I hope you guys can help me stay low!

Im looking to get a set of quiet coilovers that arent going to make noises every bump.
I notice with the ksport you do not have to use stock parts on the front coilovers and they have camber adjustment (which im hoping the adjusting the camber may get rid of that low rpm shake due to the bad angle on the axles). the Ksports do come with front drop links.

I few things im worried about
#1 i dont want any annoying noises
#2 im hopeing to get rid of some of that low rpm shaking
# worried that the camber adjustment bolts are going to come loose all the time.
#3 are the springs too soft.

Im hoping you guys can help me with this, i really like my clubbie lowered!
