If you have McPherson struts (eg AE86) the only major advantage of coilovers if height adjustment. Damper adjustment was mentioned earlier but you can get adjustable dampers for anything, it's not specific to coilovers. Points 2 and 3 mentioned above are just a nice bonus. Smile

99% of people who buy coilovers don't really need them at all; they could acheive exactly the same result buying appropriate springs and dampers for the stock setup. But people have this vague notion that coilovers are "better", so off they go and buy them. Rolling Eyes

you directly contradict yourself. you mention there are other added bonuses, but the only advantage is height ajsutment?

99% of people who buy them dont need them? umm, its very often the case for toyota's especially, with a true mac strut, (not chapman) , where the stub axle is integeral, (meaning aftermarket manufacturers cant cheaply reproduce them cheaply) that you must have them made, rather than actually buy them. this alone makes it seem odd anyone would go to the trouble if they didnt really think they needed them?

do you really need a 2jz in an xa6x for a street car? stop worrying about what people need and jumping in on any thread you think might have an '86 enthusiast asking a q' and sprouting your wholly than though attitude.

i seem to remember you got your strut/coilover conversion pretty damn wrong Smile
