coilover question

been searching for couple hours now researching on 3G TL coilovers, out of all the coilovers i have seen and read about are ONLY spring preload height adjustable. unless i missed a few threads

my question is do any manufactures make fully independent coilovers, ones that have height adjustment doesnt depend on spring preload to lower. 2 different adjustments one for preload and one for height.

thanks ahead of time

the spring perch- bottom mounting plate, is on a threaded shaft- you set it and lock in place before driving and is usually left alone

The Tein SS and some others have a single adjustment for both dampening and rebound rate, thats how you soften or stiffen the suspension
Its located on the top and is a knob or tool insert into the top of the shock
