Default How to adjust Front+Rear Damper on Stance GR+?

Hi all,

I recently got the stance Gr+ True type, and wanted any help on adjusting the front and rear damper on these coils. When I received the coils they did not have a **** on top as shown in the pics in stance's website, But I did notice four small rings in a seperate bag, so im guessing that should be the same thing. Any help or pics would be great, Thanks!

the **** on top is the dampening adjustment ****........so you need that....Im not totally sure about stance, but most coilovers, that **** is connected to a long allen key like rod that slides down into the coilover and turns the internal valves....if its not an allen key shape its some unique other shape...

can you take pics of what you do have? im lost on the "rings" u mention..

I will have to hold out on the pics for now the weather has been really sucky...pouring windy rain. My front camber was really off so I believe you do need one.

Probably not. Depends if you want to be super low or not. Get an alignment and see where you stand. Toe is the most important thing to get in spec.

Well, this is somewhat silly but if you install the coilovers and leave it at stock height you wont need any camber kits front or rear.......

but if your lowering the car your decreasing camber as in "more negative"

so yes, if you are lowering the car and have the need for the rear camber kit then odds are (depending on how low you go) your gonna end up out of spec on the front camber as well..........so yes front upper control arms are gonna be needed in order to get you back into oem camber spec.

Toe is adjusted up front via the tie rods.....so that you will be able to get into spec regardless of whatever height you lower the car, but camber will be out of spec more and more the lower you go.

might i suggest these inexpensive front uca's at $259 only so thats not so bad - http://www.importpartspro.com/kifradcoar03.html
