the turbo kit im eventually getting includes a new k-member so i guess they need to use coil overs, but the stock height of my car is killing me. so instead of spending $400 on drop springs after everything is said and done id just get coil overs i guess

I was thinking of gettin coil overs for some autocross and such, but I'm afraid of adjusting the height of them. I think I would end up messing it up. I know it could be readjusted, but still.
