Yea, the MK1's are a bear to install, but if you want to go really low and retain some semblance of ride quality, this is the way to go. We are still playing with the actual height, as I am finding out, to go any lower, we are going to have to do some front inner fender surgery. After the coils settled, I have some scrubbing along the fender lip when I turn. The difference is so close, that when I had the old kumho's on, no rubbing as they had no tread. Replaced tires yesterday, tread difference created rubbing!!!
