Ride quality: I have it set stiffer and its worse than stock. Softer and its comparable to stock. Its hard to explain actually. The setup is firm, which makes the tires hug the road closely. Bumps are exagerated, but normal driving is still great.

Height: Yes... remove tire, loosen collar, move, tighten, put tire back on.

Adjust: Damping. It makes a big difference how stiff the setup feels. Keep it in the soft range for comfort. If you load your car with people, set it stiff so it doesn't bottom out as easily, etc.

These things are good and I have them paired with a Neuspeed upper front strut bar, which made a big difference. Overall, my car creaks a little more than it used to though... might not have anything to do with the suspension, I haven't looked into it yet. You'll regret getting the Basics when you were so close to getting a GREAT aftermarket upgrade.
