stance coil instal

i got one in (pictured) but i forgot to get the sleeve for my spc upper arm so ill have to get that tomorrow. ill do the other front coil tonight and then the a arms and rear coils and camber arm tomorrow. just thought i would throw a couple pictures up on here.

spc, front and rear


stance gr+ pro coils



front fender gap (before install)


rear fender gap (before install)


one coil on



i will say the upper arms come off really easy and that makes getting the coils in and out of there much easier.

edit: i set the front coil to 1" lower than stock, so after the spring settles some, i should be about 1.25"-1.5" lower than stock

how are you liking the stance coils?

i have the same set up and seems to ride pretty stiff in the rear. Do you know if there is anyway to make the rear softer? i know the fronts you just turn the *****...

They look hot. How much do coils usually drop more after settling?

the rears have the same adjustment **** as the fronts do, but when the coils are installed, its pretty much impossible to get to it. so the solution to that is, if you look at my second picture, there are extensions you can buy. they are right above the rear coils in that picture

both fronts are almost done, i just need to pick up that sleeve tomorrow and throw them on. i got the arms and coils on both sides. along with the 15mm spacers for the front. i got 20mm spacers waiting to go on the rear. i wish there was a way to adjust the height without removing the whole coil, but i dont see how thats possible....

old vs new


drivers side



passenger side

You have to take the coil off everytime you want to adjust the height? Wow that's lame.

Getting the right height must take forever.

Also, what sleeve are you referring to that you need to pick up?

my mistake, you can adjust the height and dampening without taking the coils off.

the sleeve that sits in the top part of the knuckle. the shaft of the a-arm goes through the sleeve. turns out, none of the nissan or infiniti parts departments here keep those in stock, so i loaned a pickle fork kit from the auto store and popped them off real quick. they came off prety easy, im glad i didnt buy new ones.

i really need to get my fenders rolled QUICK

im still scraping on something just behind the front wheels when i go over some speed bumps, so i need to figure out what that low point is and make sure its nothing too important. if its just frame, ill leave it at this height. i love the way it looks. pics:
