8th gen ksport solution for the rear and some extra goodies!


S: spring
1: height adjuster threads up to the spring
2: height adjuster lock threads up to 1
3: locks B from wiggling threads down
D: 5mm allen screw to tighten A
E: old sway bar link: same height and size as F. just held closer to camera
F: new sway bar link
The problem:
If 2 is threaded down to A, #1 can rattle during driving and slowly thread downward. If 3 is threaded up to A, part B will wiggle and rattle during driving. The result, too much rattling, wiggling just to prevent A from moving around. You can tighten part D as much as possible, but it will still move... trust me.
--------------------


Remove the rear seats if you have a CE corolla. The bottoms snap right off. The backs are held in by three bolts next to the seat belt buckles. Once removed, slide up and remove them from between the seatbelts.
--------------------


Remove the 2 bolts. support the brake with a jack, jack stand or blocks.
-------------------


unscrew the tops of the strut. I told you to remove the seats if you have a CE model.
--------------------


the EXTRA GOODIES!!! I got a NEW springs for the rear. I went from 25cm/5kg to 18cm/9kg. I might as well stiffen the rears since I'm taking the whole thing apart.
--------------------


--------------------


start removing the parts. one by one...
--------------------


here's the part-by-part. Now that everything has been threaded off, it may be a good idea to wipe down the threaded area of the strut. i said THREADED aread of the strut. Try your best to remove and brush out the dirt and debris. A clean threaded strut shaft makes it easier to spin all the components back together.
--------------------


part-by-part with 25cm spring/5kg rate
--------------------


here's the part-by-part with the 18cm spring/9kg rate AND the new collar which will prevent the sway link assembly from sliding up over dips, bumps, and driveways.
--------------------


This is the finished product!
S: spring
1: threads up to S and controls the height
2: threads up to 1 and locks 1 from sliding downward
3: threads down to A and prevents A from sliding UP when driving over a dip, bump, or driveway
4: threads down to B to prevent B from wiggling.
P: is optional. This all depends on how many times you threaded part B onto part T. I threaded part B 74 times onto part T.

Depending on how much you want to lower your car from threading part B, you may need to insert part P to prevent A from sliding DOWN. I already knew I didn't need part P, but I put it in if you thread part B less than 70 times onto part T.

I personally don't suggest you lower your car with part 1 and 2 more than 2 inches. Although your car may still be able to roll or possibly not rub at all (if you're lucky), shock travel is minimized, and it isn't a good idea to fully compress the strut for it may blow.

Now put everything back...

My ride is stiffer and tighter in the rear now that my sway bar link assembly doesn't zip and slide up and down. I can't wait to instert stiffer rates in the front. But that will be for another day.

oooooooo

Hmm... So K-Sport is like a universal full coilovers huh. They just mix and match components for different applications.

So you're ride is stiffer than stiff huh. Nice! I call next after DrunkSaru on the next meet, I also am curious how it rides.

Nice one Jon! Kudos to you.

ksport makes 14cm spring height with 18kg rate.

i asked the tech assistant on the phone, "what the hell kind of car would use such an application?"

tech: luxury cars, drag and drift cars.

me: boner3
