coilover adjustment

i am trying to decide on coilovers and was wondering..
are all coilovers the same as far as ease of access for adjustment?

Not all coil overs are created equal. Some just allow you to adjust a threaded collar up or down against the spring perches. This works but does change the amount of shock travel. It's fine for the street, easy to adjust on the car if you're not looking for a radical drop. Track coil overs allow the entire spring to be adjusted up or down on a fully threaded shock body maintaining shock travel and spring rate. The easiest solution is the factory X73 sport suspension. While not adjustable, they are a factory part.
