Yes, adjustable they are !
I'm very low, and very stiff !
I.e.: I have the big "GT2 front brake air scoops", (a cheap and super easy option to install) ..and the lower part of the scoops have been already "gratted" by the asphalt !
(on some "bad" open roads)

Yes, the feeling is super great, but, for the comfort, ..it is another story !
Well, I should say that Nitto NT01 are NOT the good tires for grand tours ! (they are adding stiffness ..and a lot of noise !)
(have also "GT3 lower adjustable arms", to have good negative camber.)

Now, with such setup, as it is true, the car is glued on roads, I **seriously** recommend changing the OEM rubber oil baffle (in the sump), against a metal doors oil baffle, and this together with a sump extension, ..because with this car that have no oil pressure gauge, having the oil pressure lamp that blink red on curve, ..is just VERY NO GOOD.
..my two cents of good Laguna Seca customer.
