After driving the 86 through this winter I have determined that there is no real perceivable difference between the dropped car and the stock height one when it comes to snow plowing.
Since there is no real benefit I can easily see that I may raise it once but then it would become a case of "screw it it is more than it is worth" situation and it would just stay lowered all the time. For the difference in cost between springs and adjustable coil overs I just can not justify the advantages that I know I would end up not using anyway so springs it will be again.

I had a set of "quality" adjustable coilovers, but I wasn't that impressed. They had a bit better damping behavior comparing to stock, but after a couple of years they started rusting in the spring perches. So, I couldn't adjust the height anymore. They sell the adjustability as a marketing term, but you usually install and forget them. I sold them and now I have a non-adjustable Bilstein '15 tS suspension together with the STI springs.
