No, FLEX is full length adjustable.

so the basics are adjustable as well?

you can raise and lower the car? raising it for winter is not a bad idea at all.

This car is not the lowest drop compaired to HKS HIPERMAXs, JIC or Tein Flexs but its good enough for the owner. Good Lord i've had the oportunity to ride in it and rides good. Its just a bitch driving around town because of the ground clearance. I've spoken to the owner of this car and he would like JIC or Tein Flex coilovers but he has no use for them because he doesn't track it. These coilovers are reasonable. It's only his daily driver.
