2 Important Coilover Questions

1) How difficult is raising and lowering the coils? Meaning is it a real pain in the ***? Like lets say i have to raise and lower once a day to pull in my driveway? How long does it take, do you get dirty etc??

2.) I have Eibachs springs, would i still use those with coils or go back to stocks?

Thanks in advance.

Frank, did you do an alignment when you installed your Eibachs ?

You'd have to pull the wheels off then adjust the height using the wrenches that came with the coilovers. They should come with springs (ask for a 8k-10k spring load).

it's a pita to have to adjust it every day, you have to remove the wheels to make the adjustments. There's no other way. Unless you enjoy jacking up your car twice a day just to get out of your driveway, then it's not worth it.

I don't have clearance issues with my coilovers, the clearance issues you are having is due to your front bumper spoilers. There's no way around it when you have 2-3 inches of plastic attached to your front bumper.

yeah adjusting it won't be a quick push of a button or anything, if you want that go airbags or hydraulics.
