I'm puzzled by the minimal 10mm drop, but I don't know the first thing about the drift market.
@ Mr.Impreza what exactly are you trying to achieve with your car and what did you find attractive about this kit? |

I had the Sportivo kit (springs/struts/sway bars) on my MR-S/MR2 Spyder. Felt great on street and didn't scrape on driveways.
Not sure on why the increased rear stiffness. Making the rear easier to unsettle is kind of uncharacteristic. Maybe it's supposed to work in conjunction with the sway bars (if they do offer sway bars for the 86).

Oh, I wasn't really planning on buying them. Just wanted more information about them haha.
I've gone with the STI Pink Lowering Springs. ~ 15mm drop which is perfect for me because I was already pretty happy with the stock height. Just wanted a OEM+ build
By the way, the MRS looked beautiful! I've only seen a MR2 2 times in real life. They are really cool looking cars...its unfortunate that they are not popular and super rare now.
