Talking Lowered my G on Stance GR+Pro's pics posted

Hey everyone,
I just finished dropping my G on some Stance GR+Pro's and thought I'd post some before after pics. This G is my daily so I couldn't slam it cause the parking garage at my work is BRUTAL! The only problem I ran into is the bushing on the rear driver's side seized on to the bolt that connects the strut and the HUB. HUGE pain in the ***, seems like it happens often tho. Ended up cutting the bolt and press fitting a new busing in. Overall, it was a lot easier than I thought but the bushing gave me huge headaches. Time to start finding wheels now.

Hopefully it's not a lot cause our cars absolutely SUCK in snow. I'd get the G35X or just get a different car if I lived somewhere that snowed a ton. Luckily I live in the Pacific NW

Looks Great! Our cars look almost identical minus the coilovers. I pretty much daily drive my car also and am considering the Stance's. How does the ride quality compare to stock? Do you hit bump stops or anything weird happen if you hit a pothole or take a speed bump to fast?

I got the Stance GR+ Pro's which have a helper spring in the rears. I highly suggest upgrading to the Pro's instead of the original GR+'s if you're looking for comfort. The ride quality is great it's just a tad bit stiffer than the OEM suspension but you'll barely be able to tell. I set my dampeners to 8 in the front and rears so you can always go softer for DD's.

I lowered my G so it's a little bit pass wheel to fender and I can make it pass the big speed bumps fine, the little speed bumps are another story. Sometimes I scrape on the little aggressive ones though, you pay to play right? Pot holes are fine, I just avoid them most of the time, I haven't really tested it on a deep pot hole nor do I want to. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND the Stance GR+Pro's

Looks great, I did the lower stuff before and it looked nice but was a pain to drive. Your kind of drop is a nice medium, you should look into getting spacers, closed gap along with the flush wheels looks really good imo

I'm thinking about getting Varrstoen 1.1.2 soon so kinda a waste to buy spacers. Researching on the right offset for the new wheels to get perfect flush

Looks clean man. I always read good things about that suspension. If you get spacers for the time being you could also use them on your "new" varrstoen's too. Push them babies out even more!
