Default Stance Ride Height Adjustment

Hey guys,

I need a little help with adjusting the ride height on my Stance coilovers. I did search a few thread but did not find any detailed descriptions with pictures.
I just generally want to know what to loosen then turn in order to lift or lower the height of the suspension front and back. Thank you so much any help will be appreciated.

In regards to the rear suspension, I believe the stance coilovers like most coilovers do not use separate set of springs. The springs are incorporated into the strut. Look on the lower half of the strut, you should find 2 rings that have teeth notched out. You should also have (included with your purchase) 2 coilover wrenches. You are supposed to use these 2 wrenches to loosen the upper or lower ring (your choice). Then you can make your adjustments. Logic dictates that by raising the 2 rings you will raise ride height, and by lowering the rings you do the reverse. The front suspension is generally the same.
When you finish just make sure you balance the 2 sides (L & R) equally. I count the threads from the bottom up to make sure they are raised or lowered equally.
Finally you must tighten the 2 rings against each other to make sure they don't move.
I think thats about it.
Good Luck.

That clarifies a lot but do you think you can incorporate a simple diagram or a picture? Thank you so much!!!

Not the best photo, but you can see purple rings at the mid length of the coilover. Basically at the lower end of the spring component. There are in fact 2 rings there, its just tough to see. With the 2 wrenches provided with the coilovers, you turn them so that they can separate, and once apart (even 1/4 inch) you can more easily raise them or lower them, based on where you want the ride height to be...


I hope this helps.
