suspension question - raising ride height

[rocco16v at netzero.net (L F)]

I'm surprised that few people have noticed that the McPherson strut IS a "coil-over".  It just uses a larger spring and is not adjustable for ride height.

(so....I have coil-over suspension on my stock MkII)

  Personally I'm looking for an excuse to build a coilover kit, and this
  would be a good reason to.

  BSI sells what looks like the sleeves, collars, and hats, maybe you have
  to come up with the springs and clamps...?  This would be a great way to
  dial custom spring rates for later spirited driving.  You could probably
  get it all put together for pretty cheap, too.  Then you could just set
  the toe with a tape measure and get one of those $20 harbor freight
  camber gauges to set camber with.

  All this talk about suspensions and lowering reminded me of a question I

  was going to put to the list.
