oh wow that is really high. well one thing you can do is remove the two lower locking perches. if you bottom the spring out there's no need for the locks anyway. anything else requires modification and I'm sure you don't wanna mess with those purdy k-sports. i bet they handle amazingly.

the way i lowered mine using my ksports was i moved my spring perch UP.. moving it down will mmake it set higher

right, the bottom locking perch will adjust the strut height in the knuckle bracket. i think i sort of explained it wrong so my bad. you can't lower the strut too much or it will start hitting the cv joint. as for lowering the spring perch, it will adjust ride height slightly due to lowering the spring rate and allowing for some sag. this kind of setup is strictly looks.

now this is just on coilovers. for springs, b&g springs will drop you to almost tucking tire status only in the rear. the fronts are yet to be figured out. stock struts just don't wanna go that low.

i honestly like your front more than my front end. all you have to do is pull apart the gold part on the emblem and paint it black. if u want you can send it to me and i'll do it for you. or if urs is new i have a spare one i can do for free and then send out to you if u send me yours. whatever works for you that is if you want the gold part to be black and the outside to be silver/chrome look.
