You have to lift the car to adjust the perch, which can adjust the height. Thats no different than any other coilover system out there. Unless you have an air suspension, you need to jack up the car to adjust height.

The dampening can be done by just twisting the dial on top of the shock. No lifting necessary. Thats real easy for the fronts, but access to the rears is a real pain.

to adjust the perches... you have to take everything off the car correct?

actually if you can compress the spring while it is still on the car, you can do it without removing the shock. Was able to do it on mine.
