I'm also considering increasing the spring rate to get rid of that last bit of body roll.

There is a great thread here about re-valving them and I think I'm going to try it.

btw, running that low, be careful on angled driveway entrances. I got high centered twice and without an lsd had to physically get out and push the car back off the hump. Needless to say, I got them properly adjusted after that, no more running that low for me. Much more track oriented mindset now.
Nice! Im all about drop, just looks beautiful. I like throwing sparks and effing shizz up lol. Especially in luxery cars lol extra trashy.

tmf, its a pillowball upper mount, its a complete coilover with everything you need included

and lip yang, the lower your car is, the stiffer your damper has to be set to prevent rubbing, thats with any coilover of any make or kind btw

CX racing shows pictures of all their products, but do you guys yourselves have any actual pictures of the coilovers? It'd be very nice to see them in a real life setting, in detail etc.
