Hello,
i searched for this and couldnt find what i need

I have used stance super sport plus coilovers on my s14...problem is the person i bought them from had them all whacked out with different spring preloads etc etc...Im trying to find the factory settings for spring perch settings so i can set them up correctly and i cant seem to find this info anywhere on stances website or any searches online....i could have sworn i found the numbers a few weeks back in millimeters but now i cant seem to find anything...for now i just evened them all until i get the real numbers

If anyone has the original paperwork that came with these when new, they probably have all the measurements on it (HKS does this at least)

I need preload/spring perch length for front and rear..

thanks in advance..

Anthony

If I remember correctly the lower perches should be just hand tight before installation. FYI Stance coils (at least mine) has a pretty slow rebound dampening circuit too.

^^^^^ that seems kind of odd....Im guessing they said keep the perches hand tight just for installation purposes...

The coilovers should have a set spring preload from factory so it is the same for everyone who buys these coilovers....they were designed for a certain spring preload for certain cars....so for example, stance coilovers for an evo will def have a different spring preload then a 240. I need to know what the settings are (or spring length) for these coilovers when you take them out of the box....or at least a starting point that stance recommends.

I found directions from stance that said how to set the dampening and what to set them at to start etc etc. but nothing on spring preload

thanks in advance

does anyone else have these coilovers and have the original box and paperwork that came with them??? this info would be in there...so if anyone can find this it would be very helpful

on a side note i went to adjust the dampening on the coilovers from the bottom and as soon as i turned the allen key the adjustment thing on the coilover broke right off ..i guess it got a little rusted..prob the downside of having bottom adjustbale dampening
and i guess im screwed and that side will never be able to be adjusted...after this happened i didnt even try the other side
