Don't the Koni's have a 1" adjustable pearch rather than fixed positions? Isn't that perch for balancing corner weights?

ORIGINAL: Whitefoxx and eibach pro alignment (camber kits) front and back, nice smooth for everyday driving,,
Now if i decided to go with the K sport instead would i still have to have this part ? the camber kit ? i dont know anything about it, and is it a must have or would i be ok driving with out the after market kit ?

I can deal with a stiff ride so long as it looks good and takes the curves better i just want to make sure i will have all the components i need to have the suspension function properly and not wear anything wrong.

Thanks for all the help so far everyone!!! im learning as i go !!

Well I bought a camber kit after I lowered my car because it screwed up the camber... If you dont put on a camber kit then you will have uneven tire wear. My advice coilovers+camber kit off ebay+alignment shop= GOOD IDEA...

And yes the KSPORTS can easily be used for daily driving. I thinkthey come with a 2 year warranty or something too

falkore, yes the koni's have a perch, i think it's like 3cm if i remember correctly, which is just over 1 inch.

the front had 3 perch's where the rear only had 2.

i put them all on the lowest Although the rear sits higher than the front.. i like that look, looks more aggressive to me..

don't knock my wheels guys.. i'm planning on selling this ride soon enough to get an 06-08.

vtechef, yeah i've seen people use those camber kits.. haven't heard anything bad about them...

pretty pricey on that site though, i've seen them go for ~50-60 on ebay
