I've had my MR coilovers for 40,000 miles or so... which is alot. Car has been road raced, canyoned and abused throughly. They survived all that, a crash, not to mention hopping over what I can only describe as a "curb" on the highway that I hit at 70+ mph that was severe enough to destroy 3 wheels beyond repair and ruin 3 tires.. and they coilovers still worked like new. A about a month ago finally the front driver shock has blown... but guess what? Replacement shock inserts are a mere $75 each -- the coilovers are completely rebuildable and you can do it yourself.
Considering what they've been through, I think this is pretty amazing. I'm very happy with them.
My friend has an Evo that has been "Muellerized" at RRE/RRC, with BuddyClub coilovers, and he's already had 2 blown shocks within a year... He paid twice as much or more than I did for his setup.
And on the adjustment "issue" with not being able to visually see the adjustment setting... remember they have 32 different adjustments to choose from. It would be impossible to put 32 numbers on an adjustment knob the size of a nickel. Yes, all 32 adjustments are slightly different. All you have to do it spin the knob fully tight, and back out say 12 clicks on both fronts or wahtever setting you want. Takes 30 seconds to adjust all 4 shocks to your desired setting. MR also offers different spring rates so you can tune your suspension to a point. I upped the rear rate to an 8kg and noticed an immediate difference.
