most coilovers will allow you to adjust the height to stock or above. That will be your best option.

The BC shocks are slightly shorter than stock, I think it would be a half inch drop minimum.

you still need to get an alignment each time you change height more than 1/2"... consiering the hassle why not just keep it stock or near stock height and forget about it?

i work for nissan, so baciscally i can do an alignment everyday if i want lol. i cant leave it stock height because my wheels stick out an inch and ahalf. the car has to be slammed otherwise my 12 " rear wheel wont fit. Im going to a flush look, 20x12" rear 20x10front.

Like you said, not the best, but should be fine for what you are looking to do with them.
