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

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.

Did you get an alignment done after you fitted them?
