Ok, so when using this coilover, we must keep the stock rear spring in place. And these coilovers will compress the stock springs? Will using an aftermarket rear spring help?
Also, what is the minimum height drop front/rear on these coilovers? And do the pillowball mounts come with an adjustable camber plate?

I always dismount the rear suspension to get access to the rear adjuster dials; takes me 10 minutes per side

As mentioned that would require drilling thru the plastic outer-cover and the metal rear brace. (see pic below)
Anyone has a better idea?

Here is a link with pictures of a true coilover system: https://my350z.com/forum/northern-california/209153-share-experiences-with-battle-version-camber-and-toe-arms-kit-pics-included.html
There is no minimum drop with the Stance coilover. The height is fully adjustable, so you can go higher than stock or slam your Z.
I've set my Stance coilovers to 1 inch lower than stock.
The Stance pillowball mounts does NOT come with camber plates. You may purchase adjustable control arms to correct camber & toe.
Again see link for details: https://my350z.com/forum/showthread.php?t=209153

rear dampening adjustment
So when you dismount the rear coils to adjust the dampening, you have to get an alignment again, right? Or will everything be ok as long as you don't change the ride height?

So far I'm very pleasantly surprised by the streetability of these coilovers. Yes, you can tell you aren't on your OEM suspension but only when going over extremely large bumps.
I took it for a spin on some back roads that had plenty of uneven pavement and going over bumps was not an unpleasant experience at all.
I'm saving my overall opinion until I get a chance to push them to their limits at PIR. After my next HPDE session, I'll put up a full review...
