Photochop 20mm out of the ride height of my car pic and that will give you the answer :D

Na, the first photo is a Pedders satup that was already on there when I bought the car.

The second one is Koni shocks with Eibach springs. I couldn't justify getting height adjustable as once you find a happy medium, how often are you going to be bothered to take all fours wheels off and adjust it anyway?

The shocks are dampner adjustable but I haven't even touched them since I installed them...

I bought mine second hand so got them for less than $1000. They are going brand new at MX5Mania at the moment for $1390.

I don't have any pics apart from the race track beleive it or not. I'll have to fix that this weekend I think 8)

Installation is $150.
I installed mine with the help of two people so avoided this cost. It's handy knowing a few people in the club sometimes. :)
