jman, i use these for my daily also. i drive pretty aggressive and like to turn fast on the curves and things of that nature. they hold up well. you can adjust the height of it, and they'll go as low or maybe even lower than the skunks if you're wanting to go dumpt. you can also adjust them if you want a bouncy or soft ride in the fronts and the rears. so far, i have no complaints with these, and i do drive about 350 miles per week for school and work.

This company looks like they took a lot of the guess work when lowering the car. I see in one of the pictures they have numbers and markings on the collar to let you know how much you are dropped. Takes the guess work out and makes sure all sides are level.

yeah, it helps a whole lot when i'm lowering mine. other companies, you have to use measuring tape or something along those lines to make everything leveled out, but these have the measuring lines (like you see on a ruler) to make life a whole lot easier.

the price chrisg got was a sponsored price. i'm not sure if they're still doing that price, but you can try to see if you could get the sponsored price. i kind of doubt it though since there were a limited amount of sponsored priced sets.

There is no essay to write or anything of that nature. Check the Group Buy section. I just posted a thread about a Group Buy.

What is the range of height adjustment on these coilovers? I wanna find out this setup would lower when it's sitting at the highest point. And if I can get the spring rate that I prefer when I order?

Chrisg is no longer doing this, contact these people Home - CarShopUSA

I've had them for about a year now with no real problems except having to drill them to make them fit. theyll go all the way to the floor in the front and you could raise it higher than stock im sure. the rears need modding to go super low.

I don't want to go more than 30mm lower front & rear. Will be nice if it's close to stock height. I just wanna run something stiffer for track day.

Thanks for the link btw!

O yeah I know I'm gonna corner weight my car too IF I'm really gonna get coilovers.

Just that I've seen pix of other setups. People claimed that they were at the highest setting but still look quite a bit lower than stock.
