I would love to get coilovers to be able to adjust the height but then again I heard that the shocks wear fast and I don't have enough to get shocks anytime soon. I have the invader front and i already have many problems scraping at stock height. I want something to eliminate the wheel gap but then again not drop the car to the floor. Any suggestions? Which springs drop the least and are they any good? Thanks guys!

how easy is it to adjust coilover heights once they are installed and all?

I wouldn't go goofing around with the ride height once you have your coilovers setup at the height you prefer. For one, the alignment is setup for the height you have your vehicle. Once you go playing around with the height, the vehicle must be taken to be realigned, You don't have to, but you definetly should.

what's the point of them if they are made to be adjustable but it is not recommended that you adjust them?? i planned on getting a set but during the winter i want my car to ride alot higher than it would in the summer..

you can go to firestone and get a lifetime alignment for $100. i hate firestone though cuase they just screw you over everychance they get. they screwed me over too much but they are the only place i know with a lifetime alignment.
