Looks like the spring and perch is bigger than other coilovers. With that wheel offset and tire size you shouldn't have any rubbing problems, but there it is, definitely an issue. Does anyone make a 10mm spacer? That might push the tire out enough to clear.

On another note: what's up with not having the ABS sensor clipped in OEM style; the zip-tie is rough looking!

How did everything come out?? (with Ksport and all.) I hope well. How is the ride?? I've always been a Tein fan, but I thought I'd check into the Ksport coilovers. I'm looking to get feedback on how people like them, such as ride, quality of construction, Ksport customer service, ect. ANY info you can share would be great.Thanks.....

ummm, not one month ago i was reading a thread made by a fellow NAMer showing the importance of absolutely avoiding the use of 8mm spacer. Please be careful! Go buy a 10-15mm spacer. I'll see if i can find the thread asap....
