What are the pro's and con's of running a ride height adjustable coilover setup(think Bilstein B14, ST Suspensions STX, KW Variant 1's, H&R RSS, etc), versus running a "custom" spring and strut setup(like Koni adjustables and some sort of lowering springs like Cobb, Eibach, etc.) I have ST Suspensions STX coilovers, and don't get me wrong, I absolutely love them. But I can't help but think the height adjustable feature adds some unnecessary complication to the setup seeing as I won't be changing my ride height now that it is set where I want it. I think that with the design that's required for adjustable height, it causes noise/rattle at certain road conditions. Like when I hit square edged, abrupt bumps I can hear what I think is spring rattle.
Even if my problem isn't related to the height adjustable-ness of my setup, I still want to know what the pro's and con's are between running the two different styles. I'd love to do something unique, like run some Nitron shocks and Swift springs.
Sorry if this is a stupid question, or if it's been beat to death already. I personally haven't read anything explaining this, so please, enlighten me!
