      Maybe I should paint the calipers the same color. What do you think?

          I love the concept of variable height suspension but it bugs me that they're so expensive. By the way are there any safe-guards (boot or dust cover or some such) to keeping the threads free of dirt and debris? I can see running one of these through an Ontario winter would entirely defeat the arrangement.

            You can do a universal coilover setup for under $300... and yes those threads get nasty. Oil them up good.

                  I'll get the rears once I get the car back together.

                          Well, I found them. They're available in Russia. $353 per rear strut before shipping. Depending on what that would be, the set could easily cost $1800! DIY coilovers it is!
