well i have put the k sport coil overs into the odyssey, first of all i wasnt happy with the height, the rear was actually higher then when i had the lowered springs in it, the front was lower, i had to remove the rear control arms and plasma cut the original lower shock mount off, i then lowered it down 30mm and reweld it, yes it was a bit of work, but was well worth iti n the end. now as for the drving side of thing, even with the 20 inch wheels, it is smoother than stock, probably too smooth, i still can adjust the bump and rebound higher or lower if i wish, road noise has decreased, this could be due to the fact that i used dynamat between the coil over top and the body. so at the end of the day i cant speak highly enough of the ride quality, even the wife has said that is way smoother than when we first bought it, only downside was it requires some work to get it low, will post up some pics tomorrow

That's real nice looking!

I thought the strut height on the coilover is adjustable isnt?

Mate, you sure you can go down another 30mm? The car would be undriveable?! But would look really good! It looks really nice as it is, I need to meet up with you to see this....

HI Quadrio

I was wondering where did you order your coilover? Price ?And how long did it take to arrive WA? I like the stance of your Odyssey.
