i kinda want to go for a bit of a stanced look so height adjustable would be a must.
40 settings for stiffness sounds good though they look the job.

they do do an adjustable set for about a hundred quid more , the damping adjustment works well and they are easy enough to get at without having to lift the car.

I did get them with some other stuff but shipping was about €40 on a 2 day delivery , not to bad considering it was a fair bit of weight

I have the 'Gaz Performance Coilovers from Absolutely Shocks' currently on my car and I'm finding that they may not go with my current widebody setup, so I'm thinking about selling them and going for something more of a race spec.

I got mine from Mx5Parts 2 years ago for £499 (£516.63 in total with vat and delivery) and they have less than 2000 miles on them.

You can read about them here http://www.mx5mad.com/product_info.php?products_id=209

Like I said I am 'thinking' of going for a more 'race' setup so I'm in two minds about it right now. I'll post up in the For Sale section if/when I decide about it and that will be sometime this week.
