Default 94 ex coilovers

I am putting coilovers on my 94 ex accord. I was wondering since i lived in minnesota how easy it was to adjust the height of the springs. I know this has prolly been asked before but i am brand new to this forum. Thanks for your time and sorry if i seem like an *** for asking questions that have been answered

i too are looking at getting coilovers......and i live in MI.....usually its a bitch....u have to take off the wheel and jack the entire car and **** with the entire assembly.....Ground Controls (<= eibach springs) apparently make it alot easier, all you have to do is jack up the car and twist the perch....or something...anyone can correct me if im wrong....
what brand/setup u gonna get....im still looking for ideas???

i havent really decided on anything yet i was still shopping around...i want something that isnt so expensive. A guy told me i could get springs for about $120-$150 and if i wanted them to install they would for free... i dont really know what else is necessary for coil over systems maybe someone with a little more knowledge can point me in a direction.

ovbiously, the springs ur talking about arent adjustable...and since u live int eh snow belt, i would recomend coilovers (thats what everyone told me)....a decent set of coilover springs (gc or skunk2) will run in the low 300's......and if ur gonna get an entry level set of full coilovers (shock + spring) itll run u around 700...(im looking at some tokico illumina coilovers on ebay for 715 brand new ).....just dont buy offbrand **** from ebay, if u cant find the brand at an online store (modacar.com is awesome) dont even think about touching it. from what i hear, coilovers are worth it......
ps, if ur gonna get just adj springs, ull need new shocks, cause once ur bellow stock height, ur stock shocks will blow easily
