Welcome to YotaTech! What kind of rig do you have?
For Tacoma or 4Runner? What year?
There are several vendors for adjustable coil-overs; FabTech, RaceRunner (SAWS) and King. There may be more but those are the big ones.
You don't do adjustable in the rear. You figure out what you're going to do in the front, and then decided how you're going to match the front. For a Tacoma, that could be new springs, or blocks, or AAL's or even shakles. In the 4Runner world there are coils and spacers. There are many option.
I would recommend using the Search feature of the site - you'll learn a lot! And visit the Tech section, there is great info there!
I hope this is of some help!

yeah, your options for front coilovers seem to be:
FabTech
SAWs (sway-a-way)
Kings
DRs (donahoe racing)
i think the SAWs are about $650, kings $850, and donahoes $950. SAWs are pretty popular with the 4runner crowd. i'm looking at getting some donahoes tho. another thing to consider are relpacing the upper control arms. that could be done with comapnies like total chaos. more money, but more performance. there's more to the front suspension equation, but gotta stop somewhere. i only know the tip of the iceberg.
for the rear, the popular options are downey springs + bilstein shocks (i've got that, it gives 2.5" of lift) and OME (old man emu) springs and shocks. or for a less expensive route, instead of replacing the springs/shocks, you can always add a cornfed spacer.
there are a whole bunch of options, it really depends on how you're gonna wheel your rig on what to get. don't automatically discount the front stock springs setup, they're not bad to begin with and along with just a spacer may fit your situation better than the aftermarket ones. for more info definitely search this board or check out the suspension roundout on 4x4wire.here
