Also (ignorant question) - is the only advantage of coilovers that they are adjustable? (I know the one above isn't a coilover).

yeah weitec are very good, coilovers just allow the slam!

They are a 60mm rear and 40mm front drop kit though so reverse rake I don't get it!!! surely all level = better handling.

It's 60mm front and 40mm rear - but yes I was gonna ask that question next

Is there a cheaper kit which is as good, or at least decent?

Can I see a pic of your car? I was thinking of 40-50mm. How does it handle too?

And the handling? Much improved?
