sc.Fred.....I dont know which one is better the RIGID or PILLOW BALL mounts. If you need more adjustibility you might want the pillow ball. My HKS were ridgid also and were fine for me.

The 6 way adjustability is referring to the dampening. The best part is that there are no allen wrenches required to make adjustments. 
There is a small **** ontop of each coilover with the six positions clearly marked to make adjustments.
You'll be quite satisfied with the build quality. I think they are worth every penny

this is what is going on my 300. we use aragosta dampers and swift springs. both the dampening and the spring rates are totally custom to order though we do have 3 ideal setups for street, drag and circuit.
for those of you that are looking to replace your coilover springs, i highly reccomend Swift springs. I have driven on just about every JDM spring and swift is by far the best. (they use them for JGTC)

welded and D2 coilovers
WELDED DIFF FOR $50 FTW. if u do weld the diff. make sure you weld a solid ball of metal in it, LOL. the weld broke 2 times, its not fun taking the diff in and out. i support the welded diff because im from the land of the cheap (nissan community).

I would not recommend welding the diff in any situation. I've seen welded diff's lock at high speeds and throw cars into anything near by. Not a good time at all. If you want to drift for cheap, then get a diff out of a turbo MKIV supra. They are TRD 4 pin LSD units and work perfectly. I am land of the cheap, but also land of the smart. I used a cheap cusco 1way diff in my 180sx (240sx) and it cost me $100.

third gear, 5k rpm, feint and clutch kick = no understeer.

Easiest way to combat understeer is get some great front tires (i recommend Potenza Re-01r's) enter with more speed, give yourself a few ticks of negative front camber, (I use -.02) or just do what I did with my soarer...Big turbo, plenty of speed and keep that throttle down. Dont try that last one if youre new to slidding lol
