Installing New Coilovers
Well guys, Im going to be installing Stance GrPlus true coilovers and in need of some advice. Ive seen some DIY but nothing on the true coilover DIY. Shouldn't be to tough. I have the coilovers and the rear toe rodsto eliminate the spring bucket. Do I need a spring compression kit to remove the rear springs?
If you guys know of any true coilover DIY I would appreciate it, Thx.

It's the same exact process as an OEM style coilover minus placing a new spring in the bucket

Well I got the back coilovers and toe rod installed, didnt get camber kits, but looks like Im going to need them. Ill post some pics in a bit. What i did notice is that the toe rods made the back rotors slant somewhat both vertical and horizontal.

Well this is the result of the Stance at 3/4 of the lowest setting.
I still need to tighten the toe rods, but dont believe it will fix the slant much.

Nice job.
Youre gonna need some camber arms in order to fix the rear camber.

+1 but the rears are way cheaper and an easy install but the fronts wear out a lot faster than the backs keep that inmind
