Question Coilover Height Adjustment

Quick question...

Got some BC coilovers fitted a couple of months back but I want to bring the height up slightly. Does anyone know if there is any sort of tolerance before I'd have to get the alignment redone, or would I have to get it redone regardless?

I would imagine you wouldn't need to touch the alignment to just raise the height up

Raising the ride height on the BC's will reduce the negative camber very slightly. I did a calculation a while back when setting mine and changing the ride height by say, 4mm (2 turns of the adjustment collar) altered the camber by mere minutes of arc. So unless you're going for a big change, there's nothing really to worry about.
