I am interested in these but concerned about the front max drop being 1&3/4" only. I am not sure what I have now with DF210's but I certainly want to go about an inch lower.

yeah, i was kind of bummed when i saw the front measurements too. i got df's also and i do wish the front was a little lower. i know not everybody buys coilovers for looks, but if i'm going to spend that kind of cash i want to be able to dump it occasionally!

Are they adjustable for rebound & damper? The page didn't say so. Custom spring rates sound silly if you cant make the shock harder or softer. Or maybe they'll dpo the shocks custom as well?

They do not have dampening adjust... it's preload. Also it's pretty bad dumping the car with coilovers. Less rebound and stuff... it's like having springs and killing your struts

I don't want to "DUMP" my car per se. It's a daily driver. I just want to go about .5-1" lower. I have always had coilovers on my cars and prefer them to strut/spring combo's.

Installing coilovers without the height spacers (usually two locking rings) will get you the extra 1". Saggio, 03Z33 and others did that to lower the car as much as possible.
