do you have any problems with noise after this suspension change?
Yes there is more noise due to the removal of all rubber insulators. It is normal and nessesary for better handeling.

Well this isn't my dd so I'm all about a noise sacrafice for better handling. The pros way out way the cons. Huge reduction in weight better handling and more clearance. Compared to some more noise. I already can't hear anything over the exhaust who cares!

So are k members a bitch to install? If I had a tubular k member, when I went to install long tubes, would it make it easier, or would I still have to take the k member off and all?

I could probably install a tubed Kmember now in about 2 hours, its that easy. You can install longtubes without dropping the k with a tubed one.

Hey all,

I was checking around and this kit is like 1/2 the price of other kits! [:-] Is there something missing? Will I need abunch of other stuff or is this it ready to bolt on. I mean a spring ,sway bar ,and strut kit is like $400, for a couple hun more the K seems like the deal.

Does the ride quality suffer alot?

All coil overs are adjustable. I also have struts that are adjustable for when I drag race.
