Lance, I'm shocked...
I'll also add that suspensions capable of going up and down are not really meant to do that for ride height adjustment, per se. Coilovers (and sleeves) are designed to aid in cornerweighting your car, not to get you over speed bumps, to be used in snow, to drop when you are pimpin, etc.
I also disagree that a shock/spring/sleeve set up can't be as effective (or more so) than a "coilover." The sleeve replicates the threading on the shock body, a perch is a perch, and the only benefit to a threaded shock system is that they are usually short stroke and come with rates that some guy somewhere thought were matched to the shock. Once can certainly get these same benefits through careful selection of shocks and spring rates.

I know that's not what they are for. Although, I am shocked at myself that I didn't say that. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':0'> I just explained the reason for the existance of coilovers--cornerweighting--to a friend just last week....me and my absent mind. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/dozingoff.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

I see where sleeves can be just as affective as coilovers, but I guess I was assuming he wasn't gonna take the time to match everything up for the best performance (assuming he cares about performance)...so I suggested a 'pre-made' true coilover setup. I dunno...I think I'm gonna feed some Pepto to this diarrhea mouth of mine since I have experience with neither.
