me and some friends installed some ksport kontrol pro coilovers with no problems on my 91 hatch, adjusted it as high as it could go but the rear sit really low for some reason. i have 17x9 +20 on them and im slammed pretty good to the point speed bumps arent gonna be friendly and getting out of my garage requires a ramp lol. is there any way to increase the height... i heard rear camber kits, but im really open for suggestions!! thanks guys... heres some pics, the rear tires are stock in this pic

how did u adjust them?

you might have done it the wrong way

whats the right way vs the wrong way? what we did was turn the bottom all the way down as far as it could go to zero it out like the instructions said as well as the top adjuster...

The camaber kits are for your camber, that would not raise your car. Jack the car up and take some pics of the coilovers in the rear so we can see how you are "adjusting" them.

If I am understanding you I think you need to do the exact opposite.

ill take pics tomorrow of it so maybe someone can shed some light for me!!

Did you raise it up yet or are you keep'n it low to the floor?

ALEXTHESUS*PECT

so now we know almost for sure that k sport don't go that low. if he has stock 15's and the car isn't on the frame rails, then even megans go down waaaaaay lower! but yes it sounds like you did the opposite of what you wanted.

i wouldn't go all the way up. how about like 1" only! cars always look better when properly dropped!

Most coilovers are adjusted the same way. Loosen the bottom lock collar and move the collar up toward the middle of the cylinder.

Then turn the entire cylinder via the lock collar or the spring seat based on which direction you want to go.

You need to back the cylinder out of the lower bracket so that the distance between the spring seat and the lower bracket gets longer = higher ride height.

Tip. Check the lower bracket to see if there is a sighthole. I don't know if KSport has one but Megans and others have them. You can see the cylinder through the sighthole. If not, turn the bracket around so the hole is facing outwards.

You need to be able to see at least the bottom of the cylinder through the hole to be safe. You need at least 30mm of the cylinder threaded into the lower bracket to be safe. This is your max height.

Then lower to taste if needed.

Take a pix and ask questions if not clear.

when i got my ksports and installed the rears they were super low i was tucking rim.you cant leave the the same height they came in the box you have to raise the rears.
