If you want height and damper adjustment, then you should consider the Tein SS or SS-P instead of the Basics.  No matter what suspension you buy, you must buy a camber kit.  No aftermarket coil over can adjust camber, only a camber kit can do that.

Ah righteous. I had thought some kits came with a camber kit also.

Front sway bar is a motherfucker if you don't have the right tools and equipment.  If you are not comfortable with lowering the front lower sub frame, then you should pay someone else to do this for you.

I have car stands, and a large jack ... what else would I need?

Am I getting into something dangerous here?

Maybe I should try that with my rear suspension.  I really want to lower the back end of my car some more.

Maybe we can try tomorrow?  Tein was real helpful with their e-mail replies.  You can send them any stuck coils and they'll fix them for $25/each labor, but parts are another story.  And sure enough, the Basics and SS's have steel threads, but the higher-end stuff is teflon coated.  Constant maintenance is thus key to making sure that the spring seats don't jam up, especially if you live in snowy climates.

Are you referring to the knob to adjust the height?
I was thinking about basics but winters in Canada suck... this is making me think twice

Ideally I'd like to keep it til a major problem arises and it would be extremely expensive to fix...

More realistically I'll keep it for 4-5 years

I assume best bang for buck coilovers are Tein Basics?

What I really want is a setup that is adjustable (height + camber, and maybe the damping also) for a decent price (Basics seem to be around 1000-1200 CDN)

Who has done the front sway by themselves?

I just ordered the parts and it will get here in a week or so. 200CDN for front + rear is not bad at all
