Default adjustables or not?

well i'maboutto get some suspension mods. i like the fact that i could raise and lower my ride height with adjustables, but i've heard bad things about them and idont want to be bothered with those problems. my question is... is it worth the trouble? or is it better to have the car lowered to a strictly 2.5 inched all year round? thanx everyone-kevin

Are you talking about coil overs or adjustable shocks/struts?

I have ground controls on my GSR and it is fine, I like the ride not bouncy. Springs are ohkay too but u never know wut the fiture may bring such as a new lip and you don't want to scrape everywhere.

right now i'm riding on stock, plan on gettin some tokicos or KYB's. I don't like to ride in bouncy cars, my friend has a GSR and he has Comptech coil over's(Sleeves) and they are bouncy as hell. My sister has eibach sportlines and their ride is good. H&R gives a good ride also.

Personally, i really like how i am able to adjust the height of my suspension. What negatives have you heard in regards to being able to adjust the suspension's height???

Maybe cuz the stock shock wasn't made to handle the stiffer springs? I'm not sure...someone more educated should answer this one...

However...you never answered my question regarding your comment on height adjustability being a bad thing.....
