It would be nice if they would provide the country of manufacture. When they don't I always assume China.

They mention the material the spring is made out of but don't post the spring rates? Or am I just blind?

ill just add my 2cents.
they look cheap, will probably feel like ****, more than likely the spring rates are all different, and i highly doubt the valving is worth a damn...
i bet these get blown and destroyed within 6 months

Yes, those are the individual camber adjusters. The camber rods above that will also work and are the cheaper solution. The camber rod will pull ~3-4* of negative camber out of both sides. I would recommend starting off with a camber rod and if that doesn't pull enough camber out for you, then get the individual adjusters, too.

Oh BTW... If you want to get the individual adjusters buy them from AWR. The ones that Mazdatrix sells are just marked up AWR's, and the ones AWR sells do have the grease fittings like the ones pictured on Mazdatrix site.

So whats the ride quality like? You mentioned it was stiff, but are talking iron rods for dampers stiff or just stiffer than stock? Considering stock dampers feel like they are made from jelly.
