Default coilover question

I'm new to all this stuff so this may sound like a stupid question, but is adjusting the ride height difficult with coilovers?

Its not hard to do just labor intensive. You have to 1. jack up your car,2. undo your lugs,3. take your rim off carefully,4. spray some WD40 on the threads of the coilovers,4. grab a beer while its soaking , then adjust. Then repeat 1-3 in reverse and eye down each corner and hope its evened out so you dont have to do it all again.

You forgot step 0. Loosen your lugs. Gotta do it before jacking up the car.

i concur, it's not hard to adjust the height at all. it might take some elbow grease, but it's nothing like rocket science. you should be able to do that
