Question regarding coilovers, camber kit and alignment

My first question is if I buy coilovers, (lets say Tein Basic's) would I be able to adjust the ride height back to stock height for Canadian winters?

Next question, with coilovers an alignment with a rear camber kit seems necessary. If coilovers are adjustable to stock ride height (or even up an inch +/-) what will be the effects on my car's handling 'attitude' since it was aligned at a lowered (summer) height and then raised for winter driving?

you will need to get it realigned any time you adjust the coilovers, so summer and winter wil require an alignment

At its highest point of adjustment, you'll still be down about 1/2" from stock, but that should be fine for winter driving....
