Default GC Coilovers - Stock ride height possible?

The GC site lists that an "expected" range is 0-1.75 " lower for their coilover conversion kit. I was wondering if anyone actually has this setup? I am wondering if they actually can do stock ride height (Sport suspension), aka NO lowering.

Reason I ask is because this is my wifes daily. She drives it in colorado winters and needs the ground clearance. I would LOVE to be able to keep it at stock height in the winter then adjust down in the summer. I am going to contact GC too about this but I wanted to see if anyone had real life experience.

Thanks!

Assuming its the same as other GC kits I've played with,, yes, they usually have a fair amount of thread in the stock direction. It does usually mess up the alignment when you adjust height though. I used to have a chart I made and I marked the camber setting so I could adjust after a height adjustment.
