Does anyone know how to connect the damper extenders? Do I have to unscrew the damper adjuster to screw in the extenders? Thanks

 

Yes. It's that simple.

 

There is a pen size hex but it's very small, that adjustable **** has to come off is that what ur talking about?

 

hi,

I must say, im not very fond of the extenders..their build quality is horrible and the extenders themselves actually break easily. Seen it happen at least 5 times now....the latest are two of my friends - read here on post 16103 and 16104:

to install them you have it right - remove the **** and simply slip the extender over the hex nub and tighten with the allen keys...thats it..

I however would much rather suggest that you purchase ALLEN KEY T-handle (i believe its 3mm) and use the kind with the BALL end so that you can get at the adjustment **** at an angle...

^^^^^ what he said! I'm going to pull mine and get rid of them. The allen wrench will be the best solution.

 

Called stance and sent them pictures and they confirmed them sent me thr wrong extenders. The top of the shock/adj damper was not supposed to be loosen ... ONLY the bottom of the extenders, one with the hex was supposed to be loosen ... this was what I was talking about and it doesn't fit.

 

hum?? hard to know what your talking about with out pics of the wrong extenders they sent you...

but either way, when you get the correct ones from them you will find, that they mount onto the top of the coilover hex minus the **** thats on their now........

The bottom of the extenders are NOT a hex, they are circular and simply 'bite' onto the hex via little allen key set screws.........from there when you try and turn the extenders they break at the undersized coiled shaft.

Here we go....

These are stance rear coilovers:


OKay, the gold end extenders on the Right are stance extenders:


Notice how they are circular and just use the allen key set screw to hold onto the hex shaft:

For reference, the ones on the left are BC coilover extenders....

Either way, I would bet on the first or second use that the stance extenders snap on you like this:

pics provided from user: 415mm - thanks...


T-handle long allen with ball on top is your best bet.....

On all 4 of my coils they all look like this. They dont have that bronze adjuster ****.



Doesn't fit


Extenders that they sent me.

 

In your last pic, it looks like the replacement I was provided

 

You have gr+? how did yours fit? And by the way did u get the bronze adjustable damper *****? Mine never came with one...

 

damnn op, that bites.....

boo...

Are they suppose to come with *****? Mine never came with one ROFL grrrr I need to call stance again.

 

yes..........just like pictured here:

I have the Lx, I have the ***** on the front and have an extra set that were for the rear I'm assuming. I haven't put the new extender on I'm not going to use them, can't depend on them. Jason what size is that wrench?

 

Do you mean the T-handle allen??? If i remember correctly it was a 3mm allen key........but T-handles usually come in a set so you will be fine buying a typical Harbor Freight or sears set. I just recommend paying a bit more and getting the kind with the ball end so that you can have some angle at least when getting at it since its down in the rear strut.


Ball end shown on top:

Spoke with stance today they told me that I have the newest version of gr+ and that they no longer come with ***** since they are much larger and that explains why the extenders did not fit. I used a 4mm to adjust the damper. I'll confirm it tomorrow. Im too tired to go outside

 

Here is what my gr+ looks like. Im not sure what the difference is aside from mine doesn't have the ***** ...
