Question on stance GR+ coilovers

Suspension guys with stance experience/feedback.
i was told that these coilovers (true rear) can lay frame. i recently just installed my stance coils and i noticed that the fronts are possible to lay the front, but in the rear i am maxed out and have maybe an inch away from the lip of my rim (19's) i tried playing around with the preload to get it a lil lower but could not find a way.

pls dont tell me to search because ive already done my share of researching. im really looking to go atleast 1/2" lower in the rear or atleast try to get my fender flush to the rim.

is it because im running 19's???

sorry dont got pics at the moment will post some up soon

Something isn't right.. the rears should lay out also.. Call stance, they will help u set them up over the phone..

Im pretty sure everything is set right. I maxed out the rears and set the preload. But i cant get it to lay frame. I tried playing with the preload but all it does is free up the spring and i dont feel like riding it like that.

I think the trick is removing the spanner nuts and relocating them under the strut mount after you've spun it all the way up. Do not mess with the pre-load.

I just got my stance coilovers but haven't installed them yet... This is what I've read when researching them. Let us know when you figure it out.

Show me a picture of what you mean. Cause when you say to remove the spanner nuts and put em under the mount im lost.


But heres what happens when i mAx it out there is about an inch gap between the lower lock nut and the upper lock nut. Dont have pics but i notice in other peoples threads the rear coils are maxxed out and the lock rings are touchig eachother which is the reason why people can remove collars. But on mines my collars dont touch eachother when i maxx it out.

remove the lock nut(s) completely and relocate them back after you have spun the lower strut mount all the way up until it hits the spring perch.

What spring rate did you go with? As stated numerous times on here replacing the rear springs should do the trick

Im running the 6k in the rear. is there a difference in spring height or something?
but if so i dont think itll make a difference. even though i keep the preload the same and i max out the shock into the lower mount the lower locking collar wont touch the upper locking collar. can i change the height by adjusting the spring perch? meaning that the preload would be changed?

Question on stance GR+ coilovers-1305774045.jpg

these are someone elses coils that are maxxed out. they say that you can remove the lock ring in the middle but thats the part im talking about where that middle lock ring has an inch space to the lower locking collar.
