Default Function and form type 2 coil overs

HEy guys i took my car to the " North county auto services today" to try to raise my car up and get an alignment they said tehy cant adjust them and would need to order all stock suspesion parts to ride at a reasonable height? I was wondering if this is true on the internet i found that u could adjust them, if so- if i maxed them up to the maxium height how low would the car be still?

I walk away and go some where else. It seem they don't know what there doing. You can raise the car yourself if your on coilover. It isn't hat hard and no need to pay them $100+ to do it. If your trying to go back to stock height then just sale them or trade it with someone for stock suspension.

You don't have to raise it to the max height then. Turn the coil up 3/4 to 1inch and you'll be good. But unless you slam to the ground you shouldn't be bottoming out. I'm 24.5 inch ground to fender and I don't bottom out.
