DOn't do it the way he posted up there, there's a much easier way by unplugging the harnesses lol

Let us know how they hold up in the long run.

Everything is always pretty and nice when you first get it.
Let us know if it stands up to the torture of a 3800 coupe.

Lol.
That happened to me too.


OP, you better start moving the wiring harness now to save yourself.
This only took about a week of driving before this happened.

will do...

THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR THE SC LOVE

and i'll have to take a look at the wiring harness b/c no i haven't relocated anything... THANK YOU FOR SHOWING ME THAT B4 I RAN INTO A PROB!

and i'm taking it next week to get corner balancing service from PTP in ft worth

the ride is not to bad, we have the dampening in the middle right meow lol... sorry couldn't resist.. lol

only issue is the sway link shizz.. but it's not that big of an issue b/c i was just worried at first when i heard the noise b/c it was isolated at the frnt passenger tire and i thought the coilover wasn't secure

it's my first coilover setup.. soo far i'm pleased.. i was going to go with Tein Basics but MVP recommended these instead.. they said ksport were only about 200 bucks more but the ksports are aluminum which will not rust and said the tein has a prob with rust and something about the ksports are easier to adjust for the customer..
