Default Ppl w/ Coilovers - Do people really raise your ride high for the winters?

Contemplating if coilovers are even necessary? The only reason I would get them is to adjust the height in the winter time. Otherwise, I may just get a shock/spring combo... TIA

Default FWIW, I bought new wheels and needed to raise the car to run them...

MAYBE I would not have been able to run the wheels I wanted with fixed height suspension, and that would've sucked.

AFAIK, only Stasis allow you to raise the ride height.

Default I think DABearS4 is just asking whether he can raise them from the lowered height, not higher than

stock. If so, then yes, some coilover systems are adjustable height, and yes, some people do adjust them higher in the winter.

Default All the other coilover suspensions only drop the car, Stasis will let you raise it above stock ride

height.
