Coilovers and stock ride height
 
So I want to get some coilovers for track weekends but I have to keep stock ride height. My car barely clears my driveway currently. Is this possible? Specifically I was thinking about the Stance true type coilovers.

I don't see why not. You can always adjust at the track and change back before you head home. It only takes few minutes to adjust the ride height assuming you have the right tools.

Some coils DON'T go to stock height

^if that's the case get the kw v3's
I personally don't have any experience with Stance coils.

*On another note: you may have issues with your alignment and camber settings once you lower your car. If you want the right setting when stock height you may have problems when you lower your car and vice versa.

Looks like KW's minimal drop is .6 front and .4 back. Don't know about Stance.

yah, that's very true. i would check this before doing any coilovers.

also check if just swapping out the dampers (koni's) would work for you too. i read though, that that front koni is like 1/2" lower vs stock though...
