coil-overs JIC TEINS

Once installed how difficult is it to change the heights ?

do i need to take the wheel off , coilover off and reinstall ?

Im wondering if this is the setup I want or if I should go with the Illuminas in Nov. with a highend spring.

if it is difficult to do I might get the spring/coils
Is the hight adustability the only benifit against Illuminas/ and say H&R's ?

man im just messing with ya...
PS..being able to adjust the height is great. I used to have springs and i think it sucks to not be able to change the height... the ride is "different"<hard to explain....

well it depends on the kind of rims you have. My rims have large gaps between the spokes.

you have to remove it to adjust ride height without moving the spring, correct?
can't you just turn the collar down where the spring is to dro the ride height?

(not that you'd want to as a permanent thing, but to drop the !)@#$(!)%( out of it for shows and such..)
