Question Coilovers without lowering....?

Folks,
I am looking for performance coilovers that will NOT lower the car.
In my situation, the lower it gets, the worse I will be stuck in snow.
What do you suggest from a product perspective?

Thank You

most, if not all coilovers include height adjustment. you can get whatever you want.

True but the height adjustment range varies. For example, my Bilstein PSS9 won't let me go very high in the front. Even the highest setting is much lower than OEM.

Question

This is exactly my problem...Even the highest setting is much lower than OEM...
That is why I am looking for products that will not lower the car yet still perform well on the streets and/or race tracks.

Thank You
PM HP Autowerks..they have many CO setups that are stock height..or even higher than stock

Swift/AST...Swift/Koni... Swift/KW..to name a few...

HPA's Swift spring / thrust sheet and perch setup will give you the range of adjustment you are looking for.
