I just installed k-sports and I'm about to get my alignment but I'm also about to get some AWR front endlinks. Should I wait to get the alignment or can I go ahead and get it done before they come in.

Go ahead and get the alignment. Endlinks do not affect your wheel alignment.

TiresPlus gave me a free alignment when they installed my end links. Don't wait to get an alignment though, because you'll eat through your tires pretty quickly if your toe setup isn't right. My car got hit while parked and I didn't get an alignment for about 3000 miles. My front left tire was wore down to the cord (and it was brand new) and the front right had about 10% left.

Let me know how the K-Sports are, because I have heard mixed reviews. Did you get the rear pillowball mount?

One other note. You're probably not going to get the spacers either, since I didn't get them. If you bought them from ********** and you don't get the spacers, email ********** and they'll get on it. The rubber washers don't do squat to get rid of the clunk (oh yes, the AWR end links clunk). The spacers are supposed to move the ball joint away from any other metal, so there shouldn't be any clunk. I have yet to install my spacers, and won't have time for at least a month.

No I didn't get the rear pillowball mount. As for the ride its pretty nice....definitely a little bumpy but I'm used to that by now. Handles great.

Since you didn't get the rear pillowball mount were there any problems with getting your camber into spec?

Is the ride more "harsh" than stock? Got pics?

I might have time to install the spacers on one side of the car this Saturday. I'll let you know if it gets rid of the clunk.
