They have adjustable upper mounts which allows them to be set very close to the OEM camber specs.

Bouncing comes from an under-dampened situation. Do these coilover have seperate adjustment for compression and rebound? If so, lower the compression dampening and raise the rebound to eliminate bounce.

well if i let it go..it won't be for much...
i just got the new black EDFC unit...:)
if i let them go..it would be the total kit with the new black EDFC(supposedly it's more accurate and the motors are smaller)...that won't make a difference in the price...

i'll let it go for whatever the cost of what i decide on getting is....so if it's HFP i'll sell for 600...if it's megans...i'll sell for 895... and i won't sell for more than 1000...

adjustable pillow ball upper..they have a pillowball upper but its not adjustable so camber kits still needed..lol id call megan and make sure......looks just like the picutre, if you look at what they have for other cars though you can see adjustments for camber, mine does not have that..

DAKRAVEN:
im no suspension genious though, so about adjusting damping and rebound, i know how to adjust damping (duh requires twisting a knob) but how would i go about adjusting the rebound? add more tension to the springs? loosen some? please elaborate a lil more on adjusting it..thanks

If you only have one knob, then you can't make the adjustments, I recommended. Some adjustables offer both, some don't. In this instance, I would take the front dampening to say 17 and ramp the rear up to 26. Dampening just means slowing the reaction of the suspension. It has no direct coorelation to ride height, spring rate or preload. I should have looked up the specs on the Megans before I posted. Sorry to lead you down the garden path.
