    Default Coilovers - Highest drop?

    The higher the better for the winter months up here in Northern Alberta.
    Most coilovers seem to not go to stock height right?

    I /think/ the Yonaka's go the highest but I am not sure.

    probably the yonaka's (i have them)

    but for the most part, im perfectly fine at the lowest setting in the winter.
    i just cant drive on the REALLY bad days when we have 8+ inches of snow.
    and even then, i just have to watch where i drive. ie, if you can, dont stop. keep your momentum up. avoid deeper parts, like where the mountains from where the snow plows plow, etc etc.

    Some of the streets here don't get plowed early enough when I go to work.
    Plus I take my car on the winter ice road farther up north

    I already have some battle damage

    Also will the Yonakas be stiff enough for the setup im going for:
    17x9 wheels with 245/40R17 tires?
    I've read they are softer then others...

    they're very similar to tein basic coilovers.

    im happy with my yonaka's. no real problems with them. however, my rear springs are rusting pretty bad. so i'll probably have those warranty sooner or later.

    Teins, in my experience you can go as high as stock but not all the way...
