Is that the highest setting? Or do you have some room to go up?

Not the highest setting, still have a lot more room to go lower, but to go higher, it isn't that much left to go any higher. Are you planning on getting these and not go low so much? I'm also 3 clicks away from soft on damper settings. Some people probably want a more stiffer ride. This is how i like them.

I'm looking at 0.5-1"drop from stock to be my winter setting and 1.5-2" drop for summer. Not sure if I can do that with coilovers tho :s. Might need to go with mild set of springs and struts

With these coilovers, according to megans, you can go from 0-3 inches. So basically you can go back to stock height or however you want to adjust them. Springs are the cheaper route, but I would like to adjust my height and damper settings, so I went with these. And you can't beat the price of these bad boys.
 
Also, with springs, you can't adjust them to go lower.. like how you said, you want a winter setting and a summer setting. My advice to you is do it right the first time and get coilovers. I had springs before. They were alright for the moment until you want to go lower.

That's what I was thinking. They are pretty good for price and if I could get a ride height high enough for winter that would be sweet.

The only reason I would get springs is so i could have a drop that I would keep year round if I couldn't get coils that are high enough. I'll have to dig a little more to see what others have found because it will be more of an appearance upgrade than performance. But also performance

Heres the comparison that I took for you. If you look at the megans, you have like 2inches of threads that can be raised up. So your good to go buddy.

Looks great! I'll definitely have to look into these for my coupe! After all, the blue coilovers would go well with my car, just as they do with yours
 
Godspeed Gen2 Camber Arms (Gold). These are going on tomorrow. You guys have any suggestions on what lube I should use? I heard these starts to squeak later. Going lower then an alignment soon.

Just got done installing my camber arms. Was not as bad as I thought it would be. I did have to remove the spring on the passenger side to have some room to get the bolts off. I also did my research before I brought them. Heard they start squeaking later so I used to White Lithium Grease and made sure I used plenty! Then I also picked up some washers at the local hardware store to put it between the bolt and bushings so it wont pop out. I want to do it the right way at first. Hopefully these will last me in a long run with no squeaking or bad bushings.

Here is where I got the idea of the extra washers.
