Raising a car after lowering it???

I know Aerospeed makes adjustable coilover springs, but I haven't found ones out for for 2k1 civic yet. Are there other companies I should look at? I want to be able to raise my car in the winter and lower it in the summer. Any other solutions? I thought this way I can save some money cause I won't have to take out the springs or anything.

If they use road salt in your Area the Coil-over idea is good in though..horrible in practicality.. after one winter your Coildovers will seize and there won't be anymor adjusting happnin..[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG].. if they don't salt your roads..it's a good IDea.. I thought of it..and after hearing so many complaints from people you used Coilovers around here (Montreal) I decided heavily against it

Wow, I've never thought of that, or heard of that.... maybe cuz we always have Americans with beautiful sunny weather talk about coilovers [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

So the salt.... it eats away at the metal threads, or just sits in the threads and harden? I suppose thoroughly washing them out once a week in bad winters should fix it, or flooding them with warm to hot water... non?
