Default I had a feeling you where going to say that...

Default Settings? No damping adj... only height...

When I was running 18's... my fenders were at roughly 24.5"

with 19's... roughly 25.0"

There was mega settling involved with this setup... took about 5 adjustments to get them where I want them.

H&Rs come with quality spanner wrenches as well.

Default Are the adjustments easy to do?

I am just starting to look into supsension and I want to keep the ride close to what I have now with the sport supsension but with a lower drop.
I like the idea of the coilovers because they are adjustable, but then I think well once I get them adjusted where I like them, I may not adjust them anymore. This thinking tells me to get shocks & springs & save some $.
So If you dont mind helping me out, what do you think?

Default Very easy...

I originally had a spring/shock setup, but was unhappy with the ride height...

C/Os are matched combos, with the ability to fine tune height... Well worth the extra money.

Plus the ride is smoother IMHO.
