Picked up a set of Stances but..
the whole coil shock twists when I try to loosen it. Do I use a vice grip or something to hold the shock or whatever? The screw under the is where the gas is being help so I know not to twist that. lol.
You can put the bottom of the shock in a vise grip to keep it from rotating as you loosen the locking collar. If you dont have a vise you can use a 2x4 (w/a rag or piece of carpet under the coilover). Place the 2x4 between the fork on the lower mount and then lay it down. stand on the 2x4 and loosen the locking colar. The shock will rotate until the 2x4 stops it, then its all on you.
How would you accomplish that? To raise the ride height of the rear of the car you loosen the bottom locking collar, uncrew the bottom of the shock (to extend the length) then tighten the locking collar bach down on the base of the shock. Any way that you slice it, you still have to lengthen the shock body to raise the ride height.
help!
*sorry for crappy photos, my phone sucks. Btw, I DID NOT CLEAN THE CAR, IT IS DIRTY!
So, this is when I installed the front springs. The front bumper literally sat on the floor! I had 2inches more to drop..

I rose it, a quarter inch, toooo low...

Bootayy shot! I raised the rear about an inch from the "bottom out"

Side shot

Front Shot

Okay this is the problem, I needed to disconnect the stabilizer bar (I think that's what it was called), because the stance coils were pretty short. The ball inside of the bar thing popped out
. Where do I order a smaller bar? This scared me but when I drove my G, it felt the same. I'm new to this type of suspension, I'm use to the whole true coils like on my 89 prelude and a few friends' civics.
