Super noob coilover question

How hard are they to adjust on a daily basis? or would that be bad for them or a pain in the ass? I really want to have the balt lower but I deliver pizzas in it and I see an unholy amount of bumps and driveways more then any man should so I feel like my lip wouldn't last long

Don't get coilovers if you drive your car daily. The ride will SUCK, and they won't last as long. And if you drive in the winter, they will get destroyed quickly by salt.

Ya, get a set of pedders. They're the best handling springs and give a good drop where it's low but not too low that you scrape.

Raising and lowering the car also messes with the alignment.
