Yeah I looked at the PDF file and the gc kit install on the FAQ site which gave me an idea of what needs to be done. When I call ksport Ill see if they've got better instructions

Based on the pics of the uninstalled KSports from the ad here, I think the install should be (essentially) the same as the install of my KW Variant3s. You can find the KW install instructions on their webpage here. I also have some pics of my KW install in a thread over on CF.com.
I'm pretty sure the KSports move the rear spring onto the damper, rather than using an adapter that keeps the smaller spring in the stock spring seat. That actually makes the install easier for the KSports, though - remove stock damper, install Ksport coil-over, done.
Based on what I've read here before, even with them set as high as they'll go, they're not as high as stock. So, I would set them as high as they'll go, see where that puts the height, figure out how much lower you want them to be, and adjust to get there.
