Ride heights...seasonally

[J2FoRS]

This may seem pretty stupid. But I've done it on previous applications so maybe.

Is there an aftermarket coil over or suspension set up that can can be adjusted both up and down? I need something that at its highest setting is AT LEAST stock height (if not higher) but that can be lowered to a nice handling stance as well.

Every other year I've ran a winter car with my Mustangs, but I want to drive the ST year round and enjoy it all seasons. I'd love to get a front splitter or a nice suspension and tire set up, but need something I can adjust back up come the brutal Canadian winters.

Thanks!

Pretty sure most coilovers for this platform except Bilsteins can go back to stock height.

I'll be staying stock suspension and with a skid plat for this winter. It should be fine with a set of grippy winter tires.

Ya stock height is fine with me. I just thought that most of the coilovers even at max height adjustment were shorter than our stock set up. I'd like to go with some coil overs at nice setting in the spring summer fall and then when I put on my winters adjust it back to stock height if not higher. I'd love to do the skid plate too but it's quite the dent in the bank account!

Let me know where you find coil overs cheaper than the $375 skid plate.

Lol my point is I'd want coilovers regardless for the non winter season. I would want them AND a skid plate. I just can't afford a skid plate for this winter OR the coilovers. But I want to order them during winter and install in spring

Don't forget that you need an alignment with each change of ride-height.

Yep, going to see how it pans out with our boy at Get Detailed first. If that doesn't work out will explore other options!

It wouldn't be difficult to swap coilovers out and put the stock socks back in seasonally. After you've done it once I bet you could do it in 30 minutes.
