I planning a mild drop in a few weeks. I've read about the coil overs on here and just curious if they can be adjusted to stock height or is it an instant 1.5 with adjust ability after that? This is a dd and the roads are horrid especially in the spring so it would be nice to get stock ride height when needed. I searched for a while couldn't really find the answer.
Also any suggestions on what kit to use, just looking for a good stance and decent ride. Thanks

You can bring it pretty close back to stock height, but I doubt you can get it right on. Honestly though, once you lower it, you'll like it and keep it it that way. To accommodate the poor roads, you'll raise it some, but I doubt you'll want to go back to stock height. If you really think about it...our cars are pretty fcukin high out the factory lol it makes me laugh when I see people with nice cars and a huge wheel gap

I agree with you there, if I leave it low Id have to park it in the winter and get a beater. Do you get a better ride with the coils or springs?
