Thanks for the heads-up man.

to be fair, i should add that i have never personally owned coilovers or gone through the corner weighing process, but based on my discussions with others at track schools/autoX i gather that ride height adjustability is NOT the big deal, it is the ability to adjust the corner weights so equalize the loads on the tires.. it is possible if you just drop the car to 'make it look cool' you could mess up the way the tires are loaded and make the car handle worse than stock.. also, if you use a cheap sleeve type coilover, the locking mechanism just might not be up to the task to handle the cornering loads you put on the car, especially if you have good tires and drive hard

here's an example article you might want to look at

i think for most ppl purchasing suspension adjustability is really a waste of money (because we wouldn't know what to do with all those variables we can change) better to purchase a matched set that has been engineered for the specific application by people who know a lot more tech than we do...

EDIT: what tires are on those wheels? IMHO if it isn't a R compound or something close, don't bother changing the suspension :)
