ksport coilovers. need help. advise.
 
I put them on last night, set the ride heigh & alignment & all now about the preload settings. Idk how ur suppose to adjust it or what adjustments r ok, so tighten them as much as I could ny hand then just set them in place. Did autocross today, did ok but feels kinda off & unpredictable. My buddy told me u gotta measure it & set it all the same. Is this true? If so, can I do just the preload & be ok or will I need an alignment again

As somebody that once made the ksport mistake I'd like to offer My condolences

Corner balance sounds like you need.

And by set the alignment you mean on an alignment machine not by your eye right>?

Not to be a ****, but if you weren't sure on how to install/adjust them, you should have had somebody else do it.

That being said, have somebody who knows how to do it all take a look at it and have them help you.

Made at the same factory so here's a primer on how to do preload on those coils.

Did you get an alignment done after you fitted them?

Yes of course. Figured out it felt off cuz the lug nuts were a little loose had to wait til I got my wheel lock back from my friend to tighten them. It feels great now.
