Coilovers and raising them for winter driving question

[RAF_S197]

Hi guys, I'm currently running Sportline lowering springs on my car but I would like to switch to coilovers to be able to go a little lower. However it is my daily driver and I do drive it in the winter. My question is how adjustable are they as far as raising the car for the winter?

I'm considering KW's or H&R's
Thanks

Best check the manufactures websites for info. I know when I had coil overs on my old Probe, I was able to adjust them 2" lower than stock and 1.5" higher than stock. It was great in the winter, but the thing looked like a 4x4. And be prepared for a really harsh ride when lowered.

The H&R kit only goes up to a 1.2" front drop and a 1.0" rear drop for the SE spec suspension according to their spec sheets, doesn't look like it raises at all.

That's good enough for me. I don't need it any higher than stock ride height. Even just an inch or so lower than stock should get me by

Just to say, When you adjust your height, you'll need to set your toe, front & rear.

Yeah, I would be getting an alignment after

You're also going to have to protect them somehow so the adjusters don't seize up in the winter with all that water/salt/dirt and crap.
