Yes, the stock ride height can be reached with coil overs. Since this isn't a Honda civic, most, if not all, coil over kits are adjustable. All you would have to do is adjust the coil over to the exact height that you want. I wanted mine to be right above the tire and I got exactly what I wanted... (though it took me 3 days and 4 different height adjustments lol...)

It depends how big the springs are, I have 6" in the front and 8" in the rear and this is what it looks like with the GCs at max height front and rear:


And damn that rain picture brings back bad memories...haha

a ground control style kit works, but isnt the proper way to lower a car.. a full coilover kit has a bottom shock purch that is for adjusting ride height without touching the spring tension/load and allows full shock travel. all your doing with a ground control type kit is changing the spring tension/preload,which compresses your shock at static ride height, which reduces shock travel =

The stance coil overs are FULLY adjustable, they allow for ride height adjustment WITHOUT changing the spring rate/tension.

BTW I do have a garage, but my best friends Honda Eg hatch is inside of it. It is sitting in the garage while he is away to the Navy. And while he is away, I might add a couple goodies to it, for him...

I don't know how the streets are in PR. It's one of my future vacation spots... But I know here in Miami some of the streets are KILLER, even with my stock suspension I would fear for my ride...

The rear was about 2 inches lower then the front, Then i evened it out and ended up making the front about a half inch lower than the front. I love it.

some reasons that stance > tein:

Beefier
Cheaper & better build quality
Better damping
more value and better coilover for the money
are also rebuildable in the USA
Through design, unlike Tein's mass produced crap


Good choice! When my friend was looking for suspension components, I recomended these after conducting a lot of research, talking to people who owned a set, and a ton of comarison photos.

Result: my friend loves the GR+ and I am getting a set as soon as money permits.

Same here (about comparison and research). A lot of people told me it wasn't worth it to get 1300 dollar suspension... too bad I'm not even done with the suspension lol. I still want a camber kit and tie rods that I need lol... In the end, it's not worth it to other people but, in my eyes, the money could have never been spent better

Stance is a great kit, I love them and can't be any happier.
