jw how low can stance coilovers go? gr+pros preferably. i remember some members here have commented that they do not go as low as they would want them to, but was just curious before ordering me a set. pix too please!! thanks!!

cgguy · 06-25-2007, 08:11 AM

How low do you want to go? My Stance go lower than any other coilover I've driven on.....Mainly because Stance uses a 175mm spring on the fronts to give you more thread on the damper body to work with. I bet if I dropped mine all the way down I'd be scraping pavement for sure.

Okinawandrifter87 · 06-25-2007, 08:19 AM

Pretty low. Searchhhhhhh. Come on now. Type in stance and then look at the group buy on stance by username c2. There I did half the work for you now just read the reviews on the coilovers and how they talk about how low they go. Good luck with your quest!

reaxion · 06-25-2007, 08:35 AM

pretty damn low....when I first installed mine I dropped the height so low I couldnt get of the rack at work haha....but you can take em pretty low man.

Kaotik25 · 06-25-2007, 12:49 PM

i'm running GR+ Pro and Stance can go low, and i mean low. compare to KTS or Silk Road, they can go lower than them. I'll try to get some pics of my car if i have some time later.

*warning* going low isn't all kool, your piping will suffer.

koukimonster139 · 06-25-2007, 12:53 PM

lower than you can

Maxstyle · 06-25-2007, 12:54 PM

go to tougefactory.com and contact them. Someone is always on aim. They'll know all the specs for you.

240trainee · 06-25-2007, 01:02 PM

Yep

but not being able to go low enough is not something you have to worry about with them.

Frosty_spl · 06-25-2007, 07:53 PM

I have them.

Your ass will scrape the ground. Not the car, but your actual ass.

I had to raise mine up a couple inches in the back from the factory setting, and im still tucking tire by 2 inches.

KwKouki · 06-25-2007, 08:00 PM

I have a little over 3 inches of thread left on the perch still. Cut a collar and you will go lower.......but why?

DaPCWiz · 06-25-2007, 08:12 PM

Yeah I have them and damn.... they go like stupid low. I swear if I took them all the way down my car would literally be scraping the ground.

this is how my car sits with 17s and it can go MUCH lower.

nissandr1ft · 06-25-2007, 08:34 PM

I have at least 3" left to go down up front, with the Z32 uprights on the rear I have about 1"-2" more i can go. This is without preloading the springs at all.

wonkuuzenki · 06-25-2007, 08:55 PM

WAYYYYYY FUCKING lower then you can go.:ghey:

bees · 06-25-2007, 09:08 PM

thank u all!! please continue to post pixs though!! ur guy's car are looking sweet!!

koukimonster139 · 06-25-2007, 09:10 PM

what??

no they're not lol

Kouki · 06-25-2007, 09:22 PM

They go lower than they need to. I have like 2-3 inches left on the threads to drop it more with ZERO preload on the springs. My tension arm brackets are like 2.5-3" from the ground! I have the GR+ Pros on my S13.

thejapino · 06-25-2007, 10:41 PM

Here's my S13 w/ Stance GR+ no collars removed and very minimal preload.

JJ240 · 07-18-2007, 08:02 PM

Stance basics on a 95 had plenty of room to go lower, and frame rail was 2" off the ground. Exhaust was on the ground.

timlush · 07-18-2007, 08:30 PM

I have KTS on my S13 and I have them almost as low as possible in the front and it doesn't seem very low at all. Is this nowmal with KTS? I had Megan's on my S14 and had the tires tucking like hell and still had ALOT more room to go lower.

drift-it · 07-18-2007, 08:36 PM

basically they'll be low enough for most and you. but no one in this thread is low.

Dirty Habit · 07-18-2007, 09:10 PM

Gjohnson7 · 07-18-2007, 10:07 PM

Man all you guys need lowering springs or coilovers. Way too much 4x4 in this thread!

Skids2212 · 07-18-2007, 10:52 PM

hell if you wanted to sit your car on ground with stances you damn well could

scarecrow27 · 07-18-2007, 11:04 PM

u can go as low at ur frame allows you to and as long as u have supppeerrr stiff springs but really if u into drifting y would u want to go that low? its easier to transition the cars weight when it not so low.

Ian · 07-19-2007, 02:02 AM

I got my S14 to rest the chassis on the RUCA w/ no subframe spacers and there was room to go

basically it can lower your car past where it's physically able to go
