Installing Stance Coilovers this weekend

Guys,

I am installing Stance Coilovers this weekend....can anyone give me pointers before I jump into it? Anything to watch out for? Is it pretty straight forward? Can I contact anyone here if I need guidance since most vendors and Stance is closed on weekends?

Thanks guys

They are the true rear I believe..the strut and spring are combined in the rear..not separated.

Hey! I will be doing mine too. Hit me up if you need anything5183605478, are you installing the extenders on the rear dampers too? I was thinking about cutting a hole for the rears so I can adjust the damper thru the trunk. It's a pretty easy swap. But if your car is a virgin to moding them bolts are gonna be extremely hard to break free. It is just a direct replacement of the oem struts. Then its just a matter of dialing in your ride hight. Good luck to you

Thanks brother, I will hit you up...I am trying to search the net to try to find a way to adjust the ride height up and down...I heard it's not as easy as it sounds? Do you know how it's done?

The vendor I purchased them told me to cut the holes in the rears for the adjustment as well...

You just spin the bottom of the strut. But when it's on the car the whole strut will spin . It's easy don't worry about it.

I installed my fronts with camber arms last weekend and just finished the rears today on my sedan. Installation is pretty straight forward. Don't mess with the spring pre-loads. Raising and lowering is super easy. Read through the FAQ on stances website for questions on dampening setting and how to raise and lower.

Good luck!

Do you have camber kits? I'm thinking of getting stance coilovers as well for my coupe.
