Issues with the Ksport Coilovers

I heard great things about these coilovers. I just finished installing my Ksport coils today on my G37xS coupe and the fronts are way too low. I twisted the coils all the way to the max height where there is barely any thread left. I can barely fit a finger between the tire and the fender after I set the car to the ground. Also, the ride feels stiff and bouncy. I can feel every bump on the road yet it bounces a good amount as well. Does anyone else have this issue? I feel like I've done something wrong installing them, me and my friend installed it btw.

Here is a pic of it for reference:

Edit: So I emailed Ksport and it turns out I adjusted the height wrong on the coils. I should have read the manual a bit more. Long story short the car wasn't loaded on the spring and it made the car drop way low. I needed to adjust the coils from the bottom part only.It was a rookie mistake being it my first time. Now it sits exactly how I want it and it drives just how I like it after adjusting the damping to soft. I am super happy with the coilovers so far, no noises or anything and drives almost like stock, just a tad bit rougher. Overall I am very happy with my purchase. I attached a photo to how it sits now

Might shoot a PM to the93owner, he has Ksports for awhile now and may be of help, sounds like you'll need to fine tune your damper adjusters for more comfort-oriented ride. Some coilovers start out pretty low even at their highest setting. Looks like your front is about the same as where I'm set on my RWD sedan on Megan COs, but I do have room to go higher so ???
Here's his build thread~

Looks sick!!!!!! I just got my k sports put on my x 2 weeks ago and love them so far. I still need to adjust them a little less bounce. But over all very happy. No weird noises either. FINGERS CROSSED!

I was going to say, that last pic sits perfect! Glad you were able to work it out

Agree, the G is sitting just right, glad you're back to happy. Post a review in the review folder when you can.

Hey, whats your setup for the G, I was literally looking at your exact setup for wheels and was told it was impossible!! Just ordered coilovers and wondering how you got those to fit. camber/offsets and whatnot.

is that a 1 finger gap drop?

One issue I had with my coils (not specific to only k sport but relevant to this thread) no real easy way to adjust rear damping settings.
I know there’s a better way to adjust the damping settings (adjust and leave it but I wanted to be able to be able to adjust fully) but I tried to drill hole and it didn’t allow the key to go all the way in to adjust. So I took a grinder to it. Seat comes out in sedan in like 4bolts (14mm) (5mins or less)

I had been running the rear on as hard as it comes but wanted to change the rear to as soft as it goes for the drag strip. Now I can adjust in 10 mins or less.

The labeled picture isn’t from me just wanted to put in here for reference also. Thanks to whoever posted it.

https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.myg...b8df88364.jpegTerrible cut I know, I’ll be going back and cleaning it up later.
https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.myg...0219359f4.jpegOnly 4 bolts to take out entire back seat. 4 bolts are at the bottom of the backs to the seat. Then they slide off the hinge at the top once bolts are removed.

And this is why I've decided to go with Aragostas. Expensive, sure, but the damping adjuster is at the bottom. I refuse to cut up the car to add an adjuster cable to the top of the damper.
