So, today I picked up a set of stance coilovers. It is the true type. This came off of a 04' coupe. From what I researched, the coilovers still fit my 05' coupe. Correct? The only problem is that, he didn't have the wrenches.. I have tein wrenches and some generic ebay ones, will those work? I'll be posting pics after I install them.

The rest of the coilovers in my trunk. (sorry, night shot)


Here are more pictures:




Is this right? Its like missing the built in threads. (I don't really know, this is my first set of coilovers)



:[, Bottomed out

 

Nope youre screwed, so sell them to me at a heavily discounted price!

just kidding. You'll be fine, should mount up no issues. Contact Stance for the correct wrench, no sense in ruining awesome parts with cheap ebay accessories.

 

ahh.. I dont want to end up spending money in awhile again -__-.... hahaha. I picked these up for 900 btw

 

If the wrenches fit then use them, no sense in buying more. And yes they will fit your car.

 

Thanks for the help. I tried adjusting it, they're pretty tight. Any way to loosen them... lol or just force it.

 

Force, they are going to be tight.

 

wait, to go lower, I loosen the upper perches right?

 

Aloha braduh... My tein spanner wrenches work on Apex'i and HKS coils....

 

No, those set the Pre-load. Loosen the bottom one then you can screw the bottom up or down to raise or lower the car.

 

Thanks, I'll try what ever spanner wrenches I have to adjust it.

thanks, I'll do that.

 

will WD-40 help to loosen the perches?

 

^you could try that. I used pb blaster on mine after dirt and crap made them ridiculously hard to loosen and adjust the height. Other than that, just getting a good bite with the spanner wrenches and a good pull is what it takes. Spanner wrenches suck imo, but it something we just have to deal with.

 

Alright, well as I stated, I don't have the original spanner wrenches, only generic ebay ones. The previous owners lost the wrenches and the rear is bottomed out :[..

 

Is the spring putting too much pressure on it to turn? I doubt it would be, but if it is you can always use a spring compressor to take the pressure off. But just use some pb blaster or something and keep trying.

 

I don't have a spring compressor and I can't move the spring, its on pretty tight.
