Some people are saying that you don't really need suspension adjustability, but after owing for a year a set of coilovers I can say that even a 1-way option adjustability is quite useful. Not all roads are the same and it is nice to have the extra damping when joining a race track or when you want to drive more aggressive on ordinary roads. On the other occasions you change the damping to soft and you have comfort that is even better than the factory. Another thing people don't realize is the difference of buying a suspension that was imported instead of buying one that was manufactured locally. The imported product no matter if it was imported directly by the customer or a vendor will cost more because of the extra shipping costs, import costs, additional taxes etc. As mentioned also above if something happens or the customer wants extra guidance, the manufacturer will not care much since the product is considered to be basically "Japan only". I had a similar experience in the past and I imported a JDM suspension for my Forester, but I decided to not do the same for the BRZ. For less money I got a much better German suspension with adjustability and it was much easier to get also the certification.
