Yea if you have stance coilovers please lower those suckers to the ground. 3 3/4 off the ground is not cutting it. I'm going to measure mine today it's lower then 2" or right at 2"

Just an FYI, I believe there are two versions of the Stance GR+ coilovers.

When I had one of my dampers replaced, one had a smaller shock body. I talked to Scott at Stance and he said that they made some changes because the Z guys wanted to go lower, so one version drops about an inch to an inch and a half lower than others.

I'm at 3" from my front bumper, but I think my sideskirt is a tad lower because of the mudguard, probably about 2.5" - 2.75".

I can go lower if I wanted but I can't get into my driveway (need to so I won't get a ticket at night). You can go to the point where the car is undriveable though, I think that should be possible with either the newer or older GR+ coils.

^ so if you want to go really low, you should order the 350z version?

How do you like the ride quality and how do you adjust the rear dampening on the rear? Can you get to it from the sedan trunk?

I swapped out the rears with a stiffer spring rate recently and honestly, I can't remember what stock feels like so I can't compare. It's sturdy, but I still have a pretty good ride. My mom sat in the car and I asked her how it is and she said it's fine, just a lil bump when the road has lots of bumps.

To adjust the rears with the sedan, if you have reclining rear seats, just pull the seat forward, lift up the cover, take off the rubber tubing thing and you have access to adjusting the dampening. If you don't have reclining seats or you got a coupe, I think a hole would need to be drilled so you can attach extenders to it.

I don't know if they have a 350Z version, I just know that they changed the length of the damper, so there may be just one version, the old replacing the new.

^cool. Didn't realize some of the sedans had recling rear seats. I have an 05 6mt and don't think mine can recline. Stinks that I would have to drill a hole for that rubber tube but I guess its a good trade off for dampening adjustments!

I have mine set on full stiff and it rides pretty smooth for me.Do you have the premium package? If so, you should have reclining seats.

I love burning black. I was thinking about getting VS-XX wheels as well, but my buddy wasn't ready to sell and his offsets weren't as aggressive as I wanted them.

I test fitted my gr+ pro today and it def does not go low. It has the helper springs, so I am wondering if the helper springs are eatting up some of the height ajustment. I might need to call them to order a shorter spring.

Do you know if the gr and gr+ share the same spring and the + has the added helper spring... if so this would confirm that the gr+ will not go as low as the regular gr because some height adjustment is lost with the helper spring and collars.
