It's time for new struts, shocks, and springs. Should I go coilovers, or stock suspension with the 22's?

You're likely going to spend around the same money...so it depends on what you want to do. Static drop or one you can alter. Maintenance or no maintenance, etc.

Will I be able to achieve a ride height above stock height with coilovers? An increase of an inch or two would be sufficient for the 22" wheels that are currently mounted.

I don't see why not. Someone who is more knowledgeable may be able to confirm though.

Ok. I appreciate the time took to reply. I guess I will try to consult an expert. Thanks.

I am running on Megan coilovers for the M45, currently on stock height for a few months now. Weather related issues in the Southern Midwest (Oklahoma) had it on stock height since Dec. great ride and feel to it, but I will probably drop it an inch later when the weather here passes.

What year M45 do you have and can you raise the height of the vehicle above stock height?
