...Thinking...maybe KW is the way to go...I am going with BC from Wyvern if I don't choose something else...just don't know yet...too many choices...
No camber plates or control arms here.
Adjusting the ride height is pretty simple, for the fronts, I don't even have to take off the wheels, just jack up the car and use the tool that comes with the coilovers to spin the collars up or down, then tighten a set-screwwith an allen key. The rears are the same but you have to take the wheels off to get to them.
WoW, That is really something Konky and thanks for the info on the KWs
sweet sweet setup
Note to Self: go back to M|U and check out the Hoff
I'm a VERY happy camper right now !
I put the Cross coilovers on this morning and after playing around with them for the last two hours got the height set on all four corners. They will of course settle but they're set even all the way around now. There have been some that have been asking how low the Cross system will truly go, I was one of them that never seem to get the answer. Well I'm here to tell you that they can dump your car on the ground if you are so inclined
. The 2.5 inches they advertise I think is spot on ! Took them out for a short shake down spin and they feel Great. I'm sure it will take a few miles to truly feel the difference between the Megan's that came off and the New Cross system but even in the few short miles I've driven, I can definitely feel that there IS a difference. Don't get me wrong, the Megan's were set up just about as perfect as you can get them. It took me a month and a half to get them right and they felt really good. One huge difference is the amount of drop that I can now get. I started close to the bottom on the Cross system when I put them on thinking I might not be able to go as low enough, Boy was I wrong ! lol ! They can drop low enough that you would tear the fender arch off for sure. Here are a few shots I took as I worked with the ride height.

Now this is what I'm talkin about ! lol ! just a Bit to low but nice !
I had plenty of room to go down if I had wanted to ! 
This is close to where I ended up. I raised it up a bit more from here knowing that they will settle.

I'll have more to report as the weeks go along !
