I was on the Gr+. They didn't have Gr+ Pros when I was shopping.
My Powertrixes feel very similar to the, but have slight changes that I believe make them better. For one, that upper collar (which I removed) is pretty handy if left installed. Allows for easier rotation of the shock without affecting the preload. Also, I have aluminum shock bodies, which are 2-3 lbs lighter than the Stance set up. Not to mention I can always hit up Charles if there's a problem of any sort. his customer service alone persuades many buyers.

I'll post the pics here then.

Amount of droop before mod to attain my ride height:


Collar/ spacer that needs removal:


After removal:


The top nut actually runs out of threads before it can sit snugly against the top hat:


The fix? A spacer. I used a nylon one here as that was all I could find at the moment, but it currently has a metal spacer on now.



And now, practically zero droop:


Installed and me happy

I'm not sure if im missing something and not really sure on the design of the z32 coilovers, but couldn't you have just raised the lower bracket to make coilover shorter in order to lower the car?
