KSport Coilovers: All About 'Em

[Stroked & Blown]

Here are the guides I used:

Changing struts/shocks on a Porsche Boxster - YouTube

For the rear, I marked the eccentric bolts with a sharpie & un-bolted the pickup points at the chasis, which was pretty easy. Bolting it back up, I got the sharpie marks as close as possible and drove straight to an alignment shop.

A couple tips with the k-sports -
* Measure the base to bottom collar distance and set it equally on each. Start high, as the first strut I installed was set to 'slammed'
* Make sure the camber plate bolts are TIGHT. Mine were not.
* I used the out-of-the-box camber plate settings and set the strut top bolts all the way inboard, which was a good starting point & required little adjustment during alignment to get me to 2* of front camber.

Thanks for the tips and link,

Can someone clarify by these photo's on what is the best setting before installing them.
Also, is the factory ball pivot settings pre adjusted?

For the rear, make sure you choose the adjustment closest to the center of the car.

As for the front, you need to cut the strut towers open, like J.fro and I have...there are way too many variables to give you a cut and dry answer. All I can tell you is that it needs to be completely accessible for your wheel alignment tech
