    Ron...just how adjustable are those thangs?! Can you make it ride soft...stiff....lowered...raised?!
    When you decide to change the suspension height OR ride does it screw the alignment up and need to be re-set?
    How pricey and does it REALLY make that big of diff or is it just another "bling-thing?!"

    they have 16 adjustments and they do seem to make a difference, I'll know more after we go to the track the 1st time. Height adjustment can only be about 1.5 inches, I think. I used the largest drop they had for the mount the shocks connects to at the top to begin with. So you could have both of those and have like 3 inches of height adjustment if you wanted. I wen from 750 lbs coil spring with 1 1/2 coils cut off...so somewhere in the 1000 lbs range, to 500 lbs coilovers, it feels so much better when you hit a pothole, that is until the rear hits.. But I'm workin on saving my pennies to get the coilovers in the rear also. I am VERY Happy with it and this setup is under $1000.00
    I can buy different springs if I wanna really getter adjusted for AutoCrossing or something, but for now I'm happy with the ride and the adjustability.
