well like all coilovers they have the hieght adjustment (obviously) and also the damper adjustment to make it either harder or softer feel. And also depending on which model you get it may come with the camber adjustment (which i would recommend) otherwise you may end up wearing out the inside wall of the tires rather quickly.

^^^

you're funny wanting to use camber plates to FIX negative camber

I think that's my excuse for getting as much neg. camber as possible

Definately post a review when you get them on. I've been considering DRG for a while, but have also been unable to find MR2 specific reviews. They're a vendor on MR2oc, and have apparently sold a few sets, but no reviews yet.

I merged your threads since they are both about the samesubject.
Please don't start 2 threads about the same thing.
Thanks

got a question. why are you getting coilovers? is there something specific about your driving that requires coilovers?

is there something that a Swift spring and Koni strut setup would not suffice?
