Are you looking for fully threaded adjustable ride height shocks, or ride height adjustable coilover sleeves which you can put on the shocks of your own choice??
Also is this for the street, corner carving, or drag racing?
This is all need to know info for an accurate answer.

Ground Control sells a nice set of ride height adjusters which go over the front shocks, and sit on the rear axle between the spring and the axle. We can provide you with more help if you let us know a little bit about what you are trying to accomplish. '
BTW, the main reason to install a kit like this is to adjust the cross car weight to get a 50/50 split, and set the ride height at the exact desirable height.

I think you might be better off buying a new set of springs. All coil over kits come with new springs because they will not work with "stock like" springs. If you are just going to street drive your car, but you also want something better than stock, and obviously better than what you currently have, I'd suggest a set of Strano Springs. His web site is stranoparts.com

I like the look of a low car though... I wanna be able to roll on the street wheels one day then raise the car the next and put the slicks and skinnys on... Cant you do that with coil overs?

yes. I would recommend Ground Controls and Koni Yellows.
You can choose your own spring rates on the GCs too. I'd probably go w/ something similar to Strano's spring rates. 500f/150?R

Why do you want to raise it for slicks and skinnies?
Also keep in mind your spring rates. If you want to ride low you have to stiffen the springs up to keep from bottoming out, which will prevent the front from lifting on a drag race launch.
