Stance coilovers installed

I didn't see a thread where these had been installed yet, sorry if there is one already.

I'm very impressed with them so far. The rear shocks are awesome since you can adjust the length and damping. They prevent the rear springs from falling out when your car is lifted. That's always good lol.

I still need to lower the rear about a 1/2'' or so, then I'm going to wait until I get a few miles on them to see if they settle at all.

The adjustment on the coilovers is for camber, not caster. I thought there was some confusion about that in another thread.

Couldn't tell you for sure, if you're talking about just the spring.

Most people on this site that wanted these were jealous of Matt because he had them a year before anyone else.

Those look great! I wish I could afford a set of those. Too many power mods to buy first though. Can't wait to see pics of the entire car when all is said and done.

So how are they after a year or however long you've had them?

Put in a new fender liner, doing the airbox mod, and checking the intercooler (previous owner scraped it)

You're going to love them when you get them on. I can't wait to get some driving time in.

It wasn't too far out of my way since I was going south anyway, but I still wasn't expecting that. That touge factory is mainly just a warehouse I think. There is also another one called touge factory works in Arlington Heights that is an actual shop. The one we went to though was pretty hidden lol. I drove by like three times until I saw that small sign.

There were four in the bag with the spanner wrenches. I forgot to put them on though now that you mention it.

I think the adjustment is on the bottom of the coilover, but I didn't look too closely because I was so excited to put them on.
