    To my knowledge that KSPORT kit should be a fully bolt on kit, minus the wheel bearings and hubs in the housings.

    But it's hard to say about if they need core strut housings or not. They never responded to my email.

            Turns out you have to ship your cores to them first, and shipping from them to us for the completed set is $350. So well over $2k total with shipping your cores there too. They didn't answer any other questions about the setup.

            Looks like we'll all continue on with GCs.

              Thanks for the update. Sadly one of my strut housing has very bad rust on it so I got to either find a new/used one in better condition. I was cleaning it and the rusted right threw into the stock houseing... AWDBOB did you like coilovers or H&R lowering springs like you have now?

                I mean, the coilovers handled 10x better but were much more money. Depends on what you're looking to do.

                And a rusted strut housing is perfect for making coilovers out of. Now you have no excuse!

                  If cost is the main difference, I'd go with the coilovers. Finding cheap housings won't be easy, and you need springs/struts either way.

                  ForcedFirebird has built several ix coilover housings including mine. I'm about to send him my second set..
