[QUOTE="Gryphon313, post: 1858331, member: 63327"] Coilovers don’t work that way. The spring is captured by the shock body and top mount. If you were to remove the top nut on the shock stud while still in the vehicle the spring would shove the lower control arm down so tight that you would not be able to remove anything. Not to mention that the stored energy in that spring could kill you if not handled properly. Removing the coilover assembly is not that difficult. Swapping springs is another story altogether. Without experience and proper tools it’s an accident waiting to happen. Oh… anytime you change the suspension height, your alignment will be affected. In the case of going low to mid perch, the most noticeable would likely be that your steering wheel is off center a little due to a change in toe. [/QUOTE]
