Default I dont remove my coilovers.....

but I have found that no matter how well aligned you get the car, the insides of the tires will still 'cup' (on 225/45/17) the only way I have found to prevent the cupping is to not drive. If you use the supplied height set points from Koni and than you radically change them, it may affect the alignment. i go way up in winter...but the winter tires dont seem to mind. When I switch back to summer tires (or track tires) the lower I drop the car, the more the insides wear. i think its just that the Koni coils suck and unless you have Hypercos with Bilstiens, you are just not cool. ;\
