I just got my Ksport Coilover Kontrols today. They look amazing. Incredibly well made with strong attention to detail in every way.

They don't have an orange painted lower bit like the ones pictured. They have a second set of springs below the ones pictured above. I'm guessing that's for ride height adjustment. I'll try to get a shot of them uploaded over the weekend here.

They came unsprung... which I expected.

So how should these be adjusted before they go on the car? Or, should I adjust the ride height and spring rate after they're on the car?

I am confident my mechanic knows how to install them. How to set them is probably not something he does a lot because he's an "OEM all the way" kind of technician. He'll most certainly tell me I'm an idiot for buying these and I'm on my own after I install them.

Of course, I could be all wrong. He might be excited for me and know exactly how to tweak them. I'd just like some advance knowledge so I can instruct him as to how they should be set up initially so I can drive away and not drive wonky.

Thoughts?
