Hey thx! They look great. Are you able to get a shot of the front setup between the bottom of the strut and the cv axle boot? I wanna see the gap there.

Anyways, I really want a set of these one day but I'm super scared to blow them as my bro blew like 3/4 in a month.. But they were the protege units.. The first gen of them

no prob man . but yea you should feels great and love the handing but there is plenty of space Bro just like the stock oem . but yea man you got to preload the spring and not compress it W/T the locking rings cuz that how the strut will blow the spring has to be loose able to move around W/T your hand easily . just some heads up .

you know there is three locking rings for the strut right and the spring . to preload the spring means for the spring not to be tight with the locking ring under it . it cant be tight only hand tight and when u lock it with the spring u have to be able to move the spring round and round in a circle like if its loose . if u cant move it with ur hands and the spring is to tight agaist the locking ring below it thats not good so adjusting the spring to move with ur hands with out any heavy force appied that is called "preload " the spring . trust me i had to call ksport to make sure and sure enough they said what i just said . cuz if not and the spring is to tight like stiff with the locking ring below it , it will blow the strut . once u buy the k sport they already come ready so dont even mess with it just adjust the height from the bottom knuckel mount .
