so you want to adjust the height without taking off the tires?

I don't know of any coil overs that do this. The Tien Flex allows you to adjust rebound on the fly.

You want a soft rear from what I understand for the 1/4 mile. Most of the coilovers made for the S2K are designed to make the car stiffer.

Yes.. I was reading in a magazine and they bought a coilover set that all you have to do is to turn a spindale and then move the car forward and it would drop a 1in or so...

So a Soft rear.. who makes a soft rear coilovers??

You can order one with custom springs and also adjust the shock stiffness .
