Stance Coilovers no haz brake line hanger!

Installed the new Stance coilovers; neglected to ask before ordering, but nope they do not have brake line hangars.

My FC has the stock hard line and SS flex lines. Hard line is now unsupported.

What have ya'll done to secure the lines?

I would bet that people use zip ties. I'm sure there's some better option, though.

That is interesting. I personally owned a set of Gr+ Pros on two different vehicles and they both had them... I would make a call to stance and ask for paid shipping and get an exchange.

I have a call into Stance, they are looking into it. He said they may send me a generic mount but will double check first to see if I got the right set. The pic online does not show a brake mount, and it's not listed in the 'features' list... so, we shall see.

I didn't get them with mine either. Just used zip ties. What spring rate did you do?

ive never had issues with having a brace on them, i have modified knuckles and they stay in place i think u have to mangle the steel brake line for them to stay put.

I assume these are 9k/7k as standard on their website.

Only the front are on thus far and I'm a bit nervous as they feel VERY stiff. Only 25miles or so on them, but setting the car down off the jack the springs compress very little, much less than the Eibachs they replaced. This is with damping set to minimum. I'll run them for a while and see how they feel. If they are too stiff, custom springs are not all that spendy.

Talked to Stance last week and they are mailing me generic brake line holders for the front. We'll see how they work.

the 9/7k do feel pretty stiff. I've noticed that other companies spec 8/6k or less on coupes. I'm thinkin of going 8/7 since I am in a vert.

I talked to the tech folks at Stance and they said with the stock valving in the GR+ or GR+ Pro (rear helper springs), that you can drop the spring rates as low as 7K/5K (or that that matter go as high as 11K/9K). Because mine is mostly a street driven car (with a few track days thrown in for fun), I picked up a set of 400lbs (7.16K) springs for the front and 300lbs (5.37K) springs for the rear. I have not installed them yet - one of the first projects for this coming spring. If the rear is still too stiff, I can still drop the rears to 275lbs (4.92K) springs.

I did the 7k 5k setup in my vert and it feels worlds better than the stock 9k 7k. I am thinking of adding helper springs to get a little more droop.
