coilover adjustability ?
just a thought about height adjustment on coilovers. If i install coilovers set the hight to what i want i then need an alignment. My question is, if i decide to change the settings for whatever reason and then put them back to their original setting later will i need an alignment again? Also, assume i make these changes within a day or two not months.

Let me see if I understand your question. You set all four coilovers to point A, mark them, then get an alignment. Then you tweak the settings to point B w/out getting an alignment. Later you put them back exactly to point A.
No you will not need another alignment.
In fact, you can have the toe adjustment marked at point A, get another alignment at point B and mark the toe adjusters with a different color,and then you'll be able to switch back and forth. A can be your street ride height and alignment, and B can be your track ride height and alignment.

Same thing if you have a camber kit, you can just mark where it is and readjust it.

What you should do is set your height so that you get the camber setting you desire, have it aligned and never touch it again.
