The gauge pods are glued on and have 2 screws. I just popped them off (no harm was done), and it made it 1000x easier (last time tried it without removing them).. When reassembling I was going to re-glue them, but when you put the gauges back in place & get the 2 screws in each pod, there was no need for any glue so I just let it be.

Nice bro, that's what I figured but I wasn't sure if you re-glued. Yeah, I should have broke em off for the hydrodip.

Stance Pro Comp 2-way system. Built to order, 4-6 week lead time.

Happy medium (for me, at least) between the Megan/BC and Moton/Ohlin price points/quality.

Honestly very excited. I wish I could afford Moton/Ohlin atm but I will upgrade at a later time in my Z's life.

it cleans it up and there is no wires. that and the bracket that attaches to the mirror are some of the best investments i made. not sure if it will do it on yours, but when i start my car, my detector says low voltage.... not sure why but the detector works fine and that is the only time it happens

If anything you will like the unlimited ability to lower. Other coilovers only go but so far. Ohlin doesn't even go as low as I am. I've got the pro comp. If I were to change anything it would be the spring rates. Standard is 12kf 6k r. I would change to 13f and 7 r

Nice I was looking at the original Pro Comps before I realized they were discontinued . Although the name implies "Stance" (which is why I was so turned off by the brand to begin with) I'm going for function/form for the track; but it's always good to know that I can scrape everywhere if I feel like it . Thanks for the suggestion for spring rates, stock for the 2-way is 12f/7r but I will definitely consider change, the Stance rep should be reaching out to me soon to discuss my valving/rates.

Lol I'm planning on tracking my Z often so coilovers were a must on my list of priorities. You'll join the darkside eventually... Lol
