Gen5 KSPORT lowering springs on a Gen 5

I am thinking of going with the KSport GT lowering springs on my 04. I searched for information here, but there was not much. Anyone have any direct experience with them? They show a 1.8" drop on both front and rear.

I am interested in opinions of the handling and ride quality differences.

You can either do that or get Sprint Springs which are also an 1.8" drop all around.
I got mine for cheap @ http://www.advancespeedshop.com/clea...9-p-15080.html

As of the sprint springs w/ cut front coils, they were saavy. Handling was very good.

The only thing is that the rear will start to settle in and get lower/sag. What i did was cut two coils up front, and it had me even all around. The ride was good, and then it started to get really bouncy due to my shocks. But it was a good alternative to get me low, had no tire finger gap on the 15" oem wheels. That was my old set-up, now i'm dumped on some KSPORTS



*Also please don't tell me how bad cutting coils and all that jazz is, i don't want to hear it.
I'm just here to inform a member, With my experiences.

Thanks for the info. That puts Sprint springs in the mix for a possibility too. A 1.8" drop is just about what I need to close that wheel well gap.
