Coilover ride height

Does anyone know the max height for the Teins, Zeals or APEXi coilovers. Reason being living up here in the north I will need to be able to raise my car in order to drive it in the winter.

Anyone know if any of these coilovers will return the TL-s to stock height???
THanks,

Tein can raise back to max height and then some. Zeal B6 can not because they already lose like 2inches in the design. Apexi is the same as the Zeal. And when I say it starts out too low...this is what I mean...

I was looking at the tein website and if I'm reading it right it states the min/max ride height as follows...

FRONT Max/Min ride height
-50mm(-2 inches)/-88mm(-3.5 inches)

REAR Max/Min ride height
-43mm/-69mm

Am I reading this wrong .....???

yeah get the tein for the ride height...besides you can adjust the stiffness/softness of the tein not sure if the zeal and apexi can adjust the shocks tho...you don't want to bottom out in the snow...

hehee....that Nex coilover looks very familar to me...

I've never had to stock height, but as far as ride, it's one of the closes to stock you can get. The NEX is like 20% stiffer than the Teins set to 8 damper (which is halfway). The Zeal B6 function is so damn stiff, it's spleen spliting stiff. To put it in perspective...the spring rate on the Teins are 7 front /4 rear...mine are being upgraded to 9 front / 4 rear. The B6 is 12 front / 9 rear. That's almost double the Tein' stiffness.
