Nice write up bro. Also, just curious because I am about to purchase some of these coilovers myself, but what kind of drop did you end up with compared to the stock ride height, if you don't mind? Thanks!

Just like gsr said, they are fully threaded bodies so you can raise/lower them to whatever you want..
Right out of the box they are pretty close.
I had to adjust the rears a bit to fit my 255/40/17 without rubbing but it's cake to do..
Good Luck..
tell josh you heard about them from me.

So far so good..
They still ride great after a few thousand miles on them, and a few more autocrosses under my belt.
Overall, I'm very happy with them..
For the $, you can't beat em..

i've got these too and they're pretty good, however on the back to raise then did you have to take the whole coilover out like I did? otherwise there wasn't enough room to turn the bottom shaft as the external resevoir would hit. Or did you just adjust it with the spring?

It Feels the same today as when i first got them.
I didn't have any problems with mine what so ever and they are still going strong.

Good luck and do your research on what spring rates to get front and back for what you are planning to do with them.
I'd buy these all over again if i had to, They are worth it.

Thanks for the quick reply..
Yes the spring rates are a bit of a problem with me cz im a bit of a noob on these spec stuff..
The car was running Hill climb events.. now its gone RWD and im running drifting..
So i want a both of 2 worlds of grip and drift...

These are the best bang for the buck on the market , I have these on my evo9 and have numerous FTDs at low and high speed autoxs.

I'm using an 12/14k setup, had them for about a year very impressed originally i was going to use these until i could afford JRZs well now i can and im going to just use these as they seem just as good as the other guys Ohlins/Motons/KWs .

Just make sure you check the tightness of the upper Nut above the top hats They are a little loose from the factory.

Example of the goodness here http://www.mcscc.org/results/2010/ax...sults.Rev1.pdf

The above ZO6 was full bolt ons and trailered, the STI was fully gutted roll cage and cosworth 500whp and motons trailered
the next two Evos had ohlins and KWs the third was fully gutted and caged and built stuff
My car is full interior and 400 WHP and was driven to the track

Oh and i would have to urge you to order from MAP great customer service
