I got my koni coilovers for $895 shipped. Adjustable damping for the front and rear but the h&r's i was looking at for 1300 only were damping adjustable in the front.

Is it easy to adjust ?

RE: lowering
So far i am happy with them, the install was straight forward. As far as adjusting goes, well if you lower your car alot like i did at first to raise it back up is pretty damn hard, your compressing a spring with a collar so go figure. But it is easy to just lower the car because your decompressing the spring. As far as damping goes its easy, although it isn't adjustable on the car, so you have to set it then install the c/o's. If you want to change the damping you have to remove the c/o's. On my stock 15" wheels i had i could barely get 1 finger above the tire, i couldn't clear speed bumps and i had another inch and a half left of threads to lower it. Heres a link give them a call if your interested MJM autohaus

yep I'll have 18" so I want my tires little bit inside of the fender... so i want to make sure that I can do that with Koni... I checked Koni lowers up to 2" but H&R lowers up to 3" but there are about $600 price difference...

Can I find full coil over less than $1000 other than koni coil overs ? I am looking for H&R but it is like about $1.5K ....
I want something that can drop 3"
