Note: I had to drill out holes in the fronts and the rears dont go that low.

but these are awesome for track and daily use!

I want some more info on these, looks like a great price. What kinda adjustments are there? Is there camber adjustments? Is the "drilling" problem that dewthedew mentioned corrected? And what's the height adjustment on these bad boys? Looks like there are metal top hats, what about the bottom hat? Do these coilovers need to re-use any oem parts (rubber bottom mount on shock tower) like other companies?

What kind of camber adjustments are you looking for? The car was designed with no camber adjustment in the rear, and very little adjustment up front.

The coilovers can go very low. The rears can go pretty low without modding the perches.

Let me know what other questions you have.

the fronts have a tiny bit of camber adjustment but camber bolts are probably needed if you go low.

I am not into bashing in my oil pan and wondering if it is possible to adjust these to where stock ground clearance is possible.
