Stance Coilover (yes, again)

Got a set of AL+Pro.

2 problems.

1. Most common problem, the rear is rubbing the hub ... I did the install myself, but I first thought I did something wrong, took it to the shop and ask. they said I did everything correctly () adding a spacer is very possible. but the bolt is not long enough. I did a search and it seems that most Stance related post are at least a year or so ago. Should have searched before I bought them. (the coilover alone worth more than the car lol)

2. ride is kinda bumpy, should I set the damper to super soft for both front and back? or front softer than rear? or the other way around ? (I searched :P)

Thx

1. let it rub, it doesn't hurt anything.

2. try full soft front and rear, see what you like....we cant answer how you should setup your coilovers.

we tested shock (and sway bar) stiffness vs laptimes, and it made no difference. so set it how you like it best. i like it a little softer too

different front to rear is fine, it depends on the spring rate a little, but i'd say i usually end up stiffer in the front
