Default coilover question.

Is there coilovers that can raise back up to stock height.The winters in New England are tough.

I also live in NE. I went with Progress. I am not running and don't plan to run any wheels with crazy offsets, so I don't need the camber adjustment feature. I got coilovers thinking that I would raise the car up durring the winter as well. Once winter came, I just figured I would see how much I could get away with at the height I was at (really low). For the most part I was fine. I had a few hitches along the way, but nothing that kept me from getting where I needed to go. I can't speak to the other coilover set ups, but if you go with Progress, get ready for a bumpy ride. I can personally tolerate the harsh ride. I love the way the xb looks when the front lip sits a few inches off the ground. That's the pay off.

The ride, even here in sunny FL, is harsh with 17 or 18 and coilovers. I kept the coilover but went back to a 15. Not as nice as the 17s but the ride is 70% better.
