I think the cheapest set of adjustable coilovers (my mind is failing
me on whether the Tein Basics are adjustable or not) are about $1K.

There are the adjustable Ground Control style coilovers, which are
really just springs (when I think coilover, I mean shock and springs),
which are about $300, but not a good solution, IMO.

If you want cheap, get a set of springs. From $135-200 (Tein being
the cheapest).

Tein Basics are height adjustable and sell for $700-$800. Way better than springs on stock shocks, IMHO.

They're easy to adjust the height; you don't even have to remove the wheels. Just jack up the end you're working on and turn the spring seats. Measure the amount of thread remaining on the housing and do the same on the other side. Easy.
