yeah exactly, that would be awesome if it could read every 10 mph and you could tune to that. any answer on this?

Are these serviceable in the US, or do they have to be sent out of country for rebuild?

OK - just picked up a set on Saturday. Initial impression are these things ROCK! I went from Cusco Zero-2R with the same spring rate as the Tanabes. I can honestly say the ride is MUCH better with a huge increase in dampening control. The ride is very comfortable on the street with the low setting. Set around mid-way (8f/10r) to me feels the best for overall spirited driving around town, and I will be playing with the higher settings on a few canyon roads and on track later next week. I also have the TEAS which I will be setting up on track pretty soon. I can post pics and a detailed review after taking it to the track, but for now here are a couple pics to start with...

they are coilovers....yes you can drop the ride height of the car on all coilovers

if you are asking if the controller can adjust height, no, they only adjust dampening.

alright.....im a little new on the whole suspension thing but i have been looking for awhile now.............thats the only thing i was worried about. from the reviews and other peoples insights i think that this will be the setup that i will get..............i would not need to adjust the height from the controller actually since that would only need to be a one time thing.............

I'm pretty sure you're thinking of a Praxxis suspension system from a few years ago --- those may not help your car handle any better, but that system does exist. Street/track coilovers like the Tanabes don't encorporate an automatic height adjustment because it's just fluff, and doesn't aid in suspension tuning because it's best to limit your vehicle's suspension variables as much as possible.

well as long as height can be adjusted at all that would be great. Im not too worried about changing the height too often. once is a charm.

these sets seem good for the job......
