I'm considering lowering my MS6, but because of the weather, here (canada), I'm really hesitant to just put springs and have it lowered permanently.

Does anyone here have had any experiences with adjustable suspension? I do not know how easy (or hard) it is to play with it, but if I could get a setup that I could lower about 1"-1.5" during the summer and put it back to stock height during winter would be perfect for me.

I've heard some horror stories about adjustable kit not being stiff enough. Honestly, I'm ok with the stock stiffness/height of our suspension, especially if I would use it only in winter at that height.

I saw that BC Racing has designed such a kit, I wanted to know if you guys had anything to say about it. Does it sound good or bad?

Thanks again.

i have the BC kit and its great. the only problam i have is with the rear ones even with the extentions you will need a lift to adjust the stiffness. i would also recomend you get the spec balljoints.

I've been curious about these too. I'd also like to know about the adjustment. You just lift the car on a jack and the springs go slack? Or do you need a strut compressor? Is the adjustment threaded so you can dial in any height you'd like or a notched ring with preset heights?

Sorry for all the noob questions. I did look at their product descriptions, but they don't give any details.
