I am planning on getting either the Flex or the SS....probably the SS. What I'm wondering is how hard is it to adjust the height of the car/suspension. The winter here is very nuts (-60 C with wind) with lots of snow. I would just like to adjust them at a higher height all winter and then drop in the summer.
Any suggestions or things to watch out for would be great.

We have comparable winter here in Quebec. I hate them, too.
I suggest you clean and inspect them once a week (maybe more depends on the road condition, snowfall and mileage). Use a silicon or teflon based spray lubricant (canadian tire has them...I like their silicon one...red cap...) on the sleeves and you should be alright.
gl, it's comming.

I don't mind the winters here.....I guess I have no choice though. Love it or leave it.
I've never had suspension that is adjustable so I wasn't sure how much of a pain it might be to raise the car and leave it raised all winter just so I don't have to worry about anything like ice buildup.
Do you know if it is alright to keep the car at the highest setting in cold weather for 4-6 months¿ That is what I'm mostly worried about. I'll be getting some silicon lubricant for this also, I didn't know about that.
Thanks for your info.

It should not matter if the suspension is at it's higher setting....
I used to run tein basics (last year) and they were almost at the highest possible setting...
In my opinion you should have no problem

Cool, thanks for your input. It seems I wont have any issues this winter with this. I was going to wait till spring to replace the suspension, but I'm going to get all new bushings (OEM), swaybars, and hopefully motor and tranny mounts too.
It's already getting freezing in the mornings.
