Yeah, the needles with the knobs on top feed into the piston to adjust the damping.
Ksports suck *****. Theyre very poor quality and have a reputation for having all sorts problems.
This is something that happened to a guy while tracking his car.

thanks I am the biggest fan of the W203 body. I have always wanted one but never wanted to pony-up the money. I purchased this one used in March and this week put the face-lift to it. I find myself driving it and leaving the M-3 in the garage (smile). I would not have known where to start with the upgrades if it were not for this web site.

HKS should be allowed to sue those KSport guys for ripping off their color...
(That purple is like an HKS tradition. Sorry to rant, I just used to do work on Japanese cars in college, and that damn purple brings in the $$$)

have any coupes 02-04 on here gone from stock suspension to 2005 stock sport suspension?
i'm hoping to find a definite answer rather than a speculation on whether this will close the fender gap in the front or not. (at least an inch?)
thankssss

Springs or what???
Im looking to get some lowering springs and ive found a couple companies that have them. I dont want to spend too much and my questions are, will it be a low enough drop? Will the ride be a lot worse? Ive heard you need to replace shocks also is this true?

get tein springs, the drop is perfect.
take a look at this before/after pic.
the ride is fine, similar to stock
the stock shocks will wear down with time but u do not need to change them until they do

buy springs now for 200-300...
u'll end up gettin' new shocks after a while...
might as well get TEIN Basic now and save on labor...
total cost will be about the same...

STFF and see what happened to those who bought springs only at the beginning... do a research and look long term... get coilover when u saved up enuf... or at least spring/shock combo...
