Post Coilover Photoshoot

Put my Stance GR+ Coilovers on today as well as my DTSS Eliminatiors, with the help of Turboefini88 (well he did it, I was helping him :P). Decided to shoot some pictures at the local spot. Here's just a few.



(HDR of that later)


(My favorite)

I'm actually, going to clear that album and just reupload all the pictures because I ended up tweaking most of them. So they may be bad links, but they should be back up in a bit...

Kinch and I both are rolling on Stance GR+ coilovers.

Stats:
15 way adjustable.
fronts are camber adjustable
pillowball upper mounts
Height adjustable lower mounts
spring rates are 9k fronts and 7k rears

The ride is NOT like stock or even tokicos and RB springs or whatever you want. These are true performance coilovers. The ride on the road can be rough, and how rough depends on what rebound settings you have and how tight you have the spring perches wound up.

I personally have my springs pretty tight as to stop any body roll with the car, and I run on full soft rebound on the street. When drifting, I run 7 turns off full soft in the front and 10 turns from full soft in the rears.

My settings are not bouncy at all. Its more jarring when going on a rough road. Its a price I pay for having the coilovers and not adjusting the spring perches after track use. Open road that is in good shape and track, these coils are awesome.

I agree with you 100%

My springs are bit looser cause I DD my car. The ride quality a bit bouncy, but not terrible. I lowered my car 3" in the front and 4" in the back and I dont have any clearance issues. I havent messed with the rebound setting at all, but when I go up to the track this weekend I will.

You don't need a press, it just helps. PM Turboenfini88 and he'll let you know, what we used. An extra set of hands is a plus. As for testing them, Im going to a track sunday so I'll let you know how it goes.
