Suspension advice
I am planning on upgrading my suspension soon but have a problem with loosing ride hight in the winter and don't want to have to change it every spring and fall. I currently have the sport suspension but the rears are starting to clunk so I am sure they are in need or replacing. I was just wondering what everyone that lives in the snowy climates do in the winter as far as suspension tuning. Any help would be great.

He's on the stock sport suspension. (maybe H&R sport..?)
It really depends how bad the snow is where you are. I've seen guys with 4" of ground clearance go through 6-8" of snow. Do you get light, dry snow or wet heavy snow where you live? If it's light you should be fine dropped.
I've heard that it's easier to just switch to stock suspension for the winter and go coilovers or spring/shocks in the summer than having to raise the coilovers. I know my coilovers are a PITA to change ride height on, so that makes sense to me.

Are coilovers really that much of a pain in the *** to adjust? Or does anyone know of a brand that is good (ride and performance) but also easy to adjust?
