how hard is it to adjust coilovers' ride height?
do i need to compress the springs to do this? or can i just put the front/back up on jacks and then tighten/loosen?
somehow im guessing i need spring compressors huh.

Really easy..
basically mark the top adjuster with a marker, then loosen up the bottom lock bracket, then turn. Thats it for the front. Rear is just 1 big bolt to remove the shocks, once lowered then take out the spring, then turn the adjuster to adjust the height, then put the spring back on and thats it for the rear, remount the rear shock, and thats it. I've watched it done enough times

With my H&R's...
Either way, you need a lift, or jack stands... because the wheels must coem off. The fronts are easiest... you can do them without releasing the tension in the srpings. I use a smal tape measure, to ensure equal level on both sides. The rears, I had to losssen the tension on the springs, and then adjsut accordingly. It really is the best set up I've ever used. Going form 17's to 19's, I had to raise the front to add clearance.
