Question Carlsson suspension kit?

Does anyone have any experience with Carlsson suspension setup? Here is what Luke at Tirerack sent me about the kit:

"The Carlsson kit is a thread suspension kit which allows for height adjustability so, you can lower your car as much or as little as you would like from 1.0" - 2.5". The kit includes sport springs and valve matched dampers (shocks). The price for the kit is $899.00 plus shipping"

I guess another option for everyone - I think this setup is for sedan only.

Does anyone have any opinions on this kit? Being more than $1K cheaper, and height adjustable it seems like it'd be the best setup overall.

I ask because the Kleemann is just to $$$ for me to justify right now [trying buy a home]. I had Tokico Illumina [TEMS] shocks and TRD springs on my Supra...and it cost just over $700.00

That's surprising, since several manufacturers make springs for your car. You might want to look a little harder.
